An image from you is always an event. Wonderful photographic surrealism. The central woman is riven with stone decay and cracks, which divide her in almost perfect halves, and yet there are variations...the crack down her left leg, the slight angle of the waist-crack, along with a few others. You've done subtle variations throughout, playing off the natural meridians of the body. (And I love the chunk of stone around her navel, as if it were too strong to be cracked down the middle, as everything else is.) She's the dominant figure here---bleached in that obliterating white light (which she seeks and is bathed by). Nice use of blues around her eyes and forehead too. But then you have two other figures, who draw us to them: 1, The woman in the right background, who seems fit with the same cracks and fissures as the central woman, and who's lurking in the shadows, almost as the main woman's alter ego; and 2, that great horse on the left, so clear (ala Magritte), but bathed in shadow, and made all the more dramatic by the fact that you gave it to us head-on---a very bold choice. And it's lit so dramatically too. In and around them, you have pillars, pedestals and walls from Classical or Renaissance architecture, one of the favorite themes of some European surrealists (and of some film makers too..."Last Year at Marienbad" uses stark, classically influenced architectural settings as a backdrop to people who can't connect, and there are other examples in European cinema). The light is rich and stark, the textures, everywhere, are grainy and pocked, giving an underlying rhythm to all this stone. And the starkness of human with horse, and a hidden human too, make this bold but mysterious...where the logic of the scene is all contained inside it, and makes total sense while inside it...but which remains inexplicable once we step outside it. A long way of saying "ya had to be there, dude..." But, once there, this is a wonderful moment, created consummately as always by your mix of wild imagination and rigorous disciplined aesthetics. Yours remains one of the most exciting and penetrating galleries here. I hope all's well with you, Mandi, and I wish you a wonderful 2016. (I just wrote 2016---normally I'd correct that, but with images like this, I think it should stand...) (but I DO wish you a wonderful and inspired 2015!)
