Candela presents two exhibitions taking special care toward the photographic subject: D.C.-based Larry Cook's Daytona features grand, shimmering club-goers shrouded rhinestone, and Seattle artist Natalie Krick's she sees, pictured as she pictures uses fragmentation to disrupt the overly sexualized image of Marilyn Monroe as a celebrity icon.
Reflecting on the perception and presentation of identity informs my approach to photography. I spit on and manually manipulate silver halides in the photographic negative as a representation of the inherent natural and cultural forces in a self-aware and conscious existence. This process produces an image that reveals a certain truth in identity and its inadequacies in language. The abstractions resembling systems of the natural sciences—microscopic, topographic and celestial—allegorizes the complexity of systems that make up an individual and the perception of oneself.
Mimesis spills into the small back room with a projected video piece by Warden.
