About Peggy

Baltimore County

Peggy Fox is a photographer, painter, and mixed media artist. She grew up outside Philadelphia and moved to Baltimore in 1962.

Combining her own photographic images and paint on worked aluminum, allowing the surroundings to reflect back into the work, her narrative also  reflects the dilemmas of being human and in this time.
She also combines and reworks her images in her computer to  make archival pigment prints.

Her mural for the Maryland Transit Authority, … more

"Morality Tales "

" Morality Tales" are a series of transparencies and paint on worked aluminum.
....and I supose that is where my visual stories begin;  with a photograph of mine, a setting, or a person and then a metaphorical story emerges, collaged and painted, and carved into the aluminum.

The works in“Morality Tales” are an ongoing commentary about man’s folly; personal, political and environmental, and my attempt  to illustrate the things we humans grapple with confronting our human dilemmas.

For many years I was an independent , commercial photographer. I did documentary, editorial and institutional work; a career that allowed me into many worlds, and I was free to roam, to find the story. . Now, I use the photographic image less as I make my stories, relying more on drawing,hand work and allowing the work to inform me.

    • Spain From the Train and Other Landscapes


     
    This series began after I developed a  love of photographing through windows of moving vehicles. While unsuccessful at shooting from a car, I took these images  either from the window of an airplane, or from the window of a train.  A viewpoint  that reveals a narrative, a patterning of the land, and  the freedom of applied color.
    . The photographs themselves are the sort of images I delight in finding.

    PARTICLES  ALL
     
    This work attempts to explore visually and poetically, what 
    can only be understood, mathematically.
     
     After a career of photographing people, places and things, I rediscovered my interest in abstraction, as well as a delight in exploring the place where physics and eastern philosophy intersect. These images are not illustrations; rather they explore such statements as “It has been concluded that the visible universe represents only a small part of the universe. The rest is formed by an invisible substance called dark matter. It’s existence has been suggested by experimental evidence, yet it’s characteristics remain unknown.”
    These images, particles or pearls tossed across the cosmos, wonderlands of theory, are an attempt to translate that theory into poetic imagery.
    The work consists of archival pigment prints 51x35, and painted and worked aluminum with transparencies.

      dual-nature-of-light.jpg
      Light posesses the qualities of both a particle and a wave, yet is considered neither. It is emitted and absorbed in the form of quanta or measurable units, but when these particles of light travel through space, they appear as vibrating electric and magnetic fields which show all the qualities of waves.

      Subatomic matter changes when observed; It can be either a particle or a wve depending on how it is measured
    • Complementarity.jpg
      Complementarity.jpg
      The theory thwt the particle and the wave are two complementary descriptions of the same reality, and both are to be applied within the limitations given by the uncertanty principle. It does away with the idea of a one to one correspondence between reality ans theory.
