After an Open Studio event last night at Traffic Zone, it was clear to me that I need way to communicate directly with people who might have further comments, questions, and ideas about my work.
I exhibited six gelatin silver prints in a series called "Remembering", with a quoted statement from a traditional memorial service. These images were printed recently in the dark room that I have been renting from Rebecca Pavlenko in her studio at Traffic Zone. The selection was made after reviewing and making dozens of work prints from older negatives(1998-2005). Also shown were two LED prints from an exhibit in 2002, ("Exhibitions: Promised Lands" on my website).
Return to the hands-on darkroom process has been a necessary quieting time, as I prepare for additional work in Argentina. This project, which I will describe later, has been made possible through the Minnesota State Arts Board grant I received in March.
Congrats on starting your blog! I wish you enjoyable and creative musings on your photography.

ReplyDeleteA sincere treat to witness you in your talent pool. As your pictures rise from the mats surface and grab you into their story...I so enjoy your work of art. I am brought into the energy of the "Remnants of a Dream" and taken on a journey with the written text and visual intricacy.Love your work! Meg
