Memory Sketches
Tonight
I had the pleasure of attending the opening of the exhibition, Memory
Sketches, at the Gray Loft Gallery. The exhibition is photo based but
the finished images are not the typical photography.
The show, curated by
Karyn Yandow, highlights the work of four Bay Area artists who incorporate portraiture as an aspect of their artistic practice. Their images reveal and embody time, memory, history, imagination and image perception. The works on display alternately reveals the mysterious, personal and universal concepts of portraiture and identity.
Suzanne Rubin, photography
Suzanne Rubin ranges from starkly, vividly-sharp subjects to the most softly, dreamy and ethereal studies.
Susan Scott, photography
The photography of
Susan Scott is surreal at times but her work for this show is almost Victorian in a post-modern way.

The black and white photography of
Jan Watten is extraordinary! She is showing traditional darkroom prints, never printed before, especially for this
exhibition; some
shot years ago from her series "Thirteen" as well as a few new portraits recently photographed and printed.
It is quite an exhibition. Don't miss it!
