International Herald Tribune Weave, Oct 30, 2007
Provoked by images of a world in strife sandwiched between ads for oil companies, diamonds and banks – I felt (feel) a sense of dread. I found (find) myself weaving pages of news publications such as the International Herald Tribune, New York Times and Italy’s L’espresso magazine. The action of weaving each publication into itself was (and is) an attempt to control what seems out of control.
As an artist and photo educator I am particularity interested in the dissemination of images (photojournalism in particular). Engaging young photographers in a dialogue on the freedom of press (what that may mean), and the demise of the photo essay in main stream print is of particular interest to me.
