About the Artists
Maria Martinez-Cañas (Cuba and U.S.A.) – Lies. Cañas states,
“I had gone through a terrible personal experience in my life that made me confront head-on how easy lies can be told and believed. How easy it is to bring devastation to people’s lives by telling lies that other people believe in.The popular notion is that photography does not lie and that what we see in an image is ‘truth’.” The Lies appear as snapshots from a crime scene, blurred to a point where one cannot distinguish details or boundaries of objects.
Maria Martinez Cañas (Cuba and U.S.A.) and Kim Brown (U.S.A.) – Dustograms.
“Dustograms are testament to the potential of two artists who trust and believe in each other’s work.Dust is evidence; fragile and ephemeral evidence of life’s presence. The English dictionary describes dust as being ‘the particles into whichsomething disintegrates.’ It is so small and so big at he same time; ceaseless like time - a reminder of the beginning and the end.It comes from everywhere and nowhere and goes everywhere and nowhere.” Dustograms are unique prints of dust placed directly on photographic paper and exposed to light. The dust is then stitched onto the paper itself and results in a sculptural photographic object.
