Tres Chicas de la Luz - Three Woman Exhibition

May 31 - July 19, 2008

An exhibition of 45 images from three inspiring women photographers: Susan Burnstine (Los Angeles, CA), Carol Watson (Blanco, TX) and Polly Chandler (Austin, TX). Susan’s images from her “On Waking Dreams” series explore that fleeting moment between dreaming and waking—the blurred seconds in which imagination and reality collide. Carol’s work in digital infrared unearths a fairy-tale beauty that can only be found on the borders of visible light and the imagination. Polly’s evocative portraits illuminate the personality of her subjects through her use of selective backgrounds and large format cameras.
