Exhibition

A collection of work by three prominent women photographers, the exhibition highlights diversity in subject, while consistently exposing and examining relationships: one's interaction with a place, places formerly occupied by people, collectors and their collections. 

 

Juli Leonard, a staff photographer for the News and Observer,presents People, four images recording small moments in their lives. She captures the "stories [both unique and common] we all tuck away from sight or forget."  Leonard seeks to expose the human condition as challenging, beautiful and bountiful in visual opportunity. 

 

Krysta Einspanier, a Durham photographer who has exhibited extensively throughout the Triangle, contributes the Places segment of the exhibition.  Her photographs of deserted landscapes evoke images of what might have happened in these spaces, while presenting a beautiful portrait of an interesting place.

 

Contributing Things photographs, Tanya Ortega de Chamberlin captures eccentric collections.  Often spending weeks with the collectors, Ortega de Chamberlin feels it imperative to understand why they do what they do, what the need or obsession is and where it comes from. The collections photographed are diverse, and are the beginning of a larger series depicting people's eccentric collections. Ortega de Chamberlin is based in Sante Fe, and has show extensively throughout the West.
