Flak Photo presents RSF 09

It was grateful to be included in this summer's feature on Flak Photo - RSF 09

Today, Flak featured the image of my grandparents last harvest of raspberries prior to there moving out of their house of 40 years.
This image is part of the larger installation of 75 photographs and reproductions titled lacuna.

Lacuna, an unfilled space or interval...in knowledge, literature or in bone. As the word lacuna references both intellectual and physical gaps, the installation titled lacuna is a metaphor for memory and aging.

Read a review of the recent installation in Milwaukee here.

I just had the pleasure of meeting Beatrix Reinhardt at Review Santa Fe. We stood back to back during the long 3 hour open portfolio review. Her Club series is clever and beautiful! I am pleased to be in this show with her!

Jason Reblando and I connected the moment we met in Milwaukee while he was showing in the CoPA juried show in 2007. Jason is such a compassionate person and it fills his work. I look forward to seeing some of these new images from 17 stories. Davina is one of my favorites.

Class Pictures: Photographs by Dawoud Bey
ENDS THIS SUNDAY
at Milwaukee Art Museum

I’m glad my parents were always there to guide me
and help me think of the choices I was making.
I like to join a lot of activities, but once something
goes wrong, my first thought is to quit. When I tell
my parents what happened, they always push me to give
it another try and not quit. Without that extra push I
wouldn’t have been able to do many things, like play
basketball, volleyball, swim, or even play the piano.
