Dorothy O’Connor and Jenny Williamson have a show opening this Saturday a 7pm at Composition Gallery.
“Dorothy and Jenny share an affinity for producing dreamlike images. Dorothy’s photography is more intentionally dreamlike, whereas Jenny’s achieves a similar effect due principally to her use of Diana Cameras. They both, however, create their work from a deeply personal place; and the results are photographs which become personal experiences for viewers as well, leaving them the space to bring their own thoughts and emotions to the fore. Like dreams, these images can be interpreted in a variety of ways. To me, they call to mind a myriad of associations concerning dreams and reality, harmony and disharmony, memory, melancholy, and the passage of time. Another viewer, however, may come away with something completely different, which I think is the true value of artistic expression. An image should be an intimate and visceral experience for each viewer, independent of the artist’s intention or any imposed point of view. I would like to thank these two photographers for their time and effort, and for the opportunity to exhibit this bold and intuitive work.”
