Haley Richter: Projections from the Cave


These images take you away into a world that questions the very nature of place and object. They become fused together but in a way that encourages uncertainty, they coexist but not without the jolt of the out-of-place. The use of the square implanted in the images strongly references photography, I think of the white seamless put out there, this strange stagnant object that is always thought of as “universal”. Placed out in the world, it begins to censor its surroundings, and I am also made aware of the unnatural in this "back drop"… it is not universal, it is sterile in a world that is detailed and dirty and full of emotions. This work documents an idea but is suggestive of a thousand more. A man’s graceful fingers hold a small sheet of glass but he cannot see him self in it, he can only hope for a muddled view of what lays underneath…as I do. A glimpse of something that is just under the surface of our daily existence but the viewer must decide what that is, the truth beneath reality.
Congrats Haley,
