"In Another World, Shae Detar walks the tightrope of the image maker in an era of ubiquitous images. Detar's working method, which involves the use of watercolors, acrylics and charcoal on archival watercolor paper which her photographic images are printed on, before a final stage of adding isolation coats and varnish, elevates her productions of skill above the run of the mill. The recursive and experimental process itself charges the resulting hybrid images with a numinous energy."
"I love working on a larger scale and I prefer the 9 and 10 foot range but I usually end up in the 5 and 7 ft range because my printer only goes to 44” width. But the size of the pieces really makes me feel the work and excites me. Part of the thrill and adventure is not knowing what will happen and letting the images become something else. I let myself have no expectations and once I am in the studio another journey begins, and that is where I begin making what I shot out in some deserted landscape into something else entirely. I love the handmade quality of things, and I leave little imperfections if they happen(within reason) because it allows the work to be more human and because this is not a factory print, this is handmade. I want my work to feel like a human touched it. We are surrounded by a digital world that keeps growing all around us, and I think I’m very old school in the sense that I love handmade art of all mediums, oil paintings, mixed media, sculpture, live shows, things that connect you to the humanity of life."
