| Most of these images were produced using a HOLGA camera, a simple bare-bones device originally designed for children, to be later discovered by artists. The photographs you see were created in-camera, not digitally altered, revealing the fascination this camera holds for its aficionados. When I returned to my ancestral homeland in Eastern Europe, The HOLGA was especially suited to my mission of exploring the many-layered transparency of memory - in this case, my deep-seated desire to trace the 'geology' or 'geography' of the vivid memories I inherited from my refugee Latvian parents. In my childhood, their memories resonated in either stark black and white or, converesely, had an almost supernatural coloring to them. The light and color and shape of Memory is what I seek. |
