Artist Statement
My past work examines man's relationship to the alpine environment. I am currently working on a project where I double expose medium format negatives in camera to depict memories, how they overlap in our mind and merge to create dream-like recollections. Nostalgia, the speed at which time is passing, the elusiveness of memory and collective memory are all contemporary concerns which I explore, as well as the role of photography in creating and solidifying experience and memory.
Process Statement
All my work is shot on medium format film and drum scanned.
Growing up in northern Vermont near the Canadian border, Johnston developed an early passion for snow laden alpine landscapes and this remains an important theme in her photographic work.
She earned a degree in Art History from Middlebury College in Vermont and was employed by Sotheby's in New York City. In 2001, Johnston began studying photography at The Black and White School of Photography, London, and has since participated in several group shows. She has had solo exhibitions in London and Kitzbuhel, Austria and has exhibited at the London Art Fair since 2010.
