About
There is a popular idea that beauty is young, strong, and invulnerable. Where every molecule is assembled just right, and in that moment it should come together to assemble idyllic perfection. In the world that I see and feel, nothing can be farther from the truth.
There is an old poet who once wrote “Beauty is truth, truth beauty – that is all” and this speaks to me. Truth can be uncomfortable, difficult, awkward, courageous, tragic,precious and often inspiring. If I can see something that is nothing other than true to itself, no cause to impress, nothing to prove, then that is what I hope to capture and share. To give that moment of raw honesty away for the viewing of others is what helps give me purpose and validates me artistically. It can transform things. It turns tragedy to compassion, the average to the extraordinary, it can show the richness of poverty, the frailty of strength and that within everything there is beauty in truth.
Hi Laura-
Your work is so beautiful and professional.
Will you be at the Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam show Tuesday, Dec. 15th at The Independent in SF? It would be nice to see you again. Show starts at 7:30.
Congrats on your work in India. My cousin, Dana Fisher traveled to Africa in the early ’80s to take photos for a UNICEF campaign. The collection was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
