Opens January 2020
Vashon Center for the Arts
Opening Reception and Dance Performance is Friday, January 10, 6-9 pm at Vashon Center for the Arts. In my series of narrative photos, “Rodin’s Photographer,” I take on the role of the Unknown Photographer, who worked with French sculptor Auguste Rodin in the late 1800s. Within a conceptual theme — presented as my reinterpretations of these “discovered” turn of the century artist’s photographs — I intertwine historical research and fiction to create a classic character attempting to use her camera to reveal the mystery of how the spirit moves us.



“Rodin's Photographer” is an enchanting multidisciplinary art experience.
The genesis of the idea was sparked at the Maryhill Museum of Art. I was inspired by Rodin's sculpture I saw there, and as I researched him, I was equally captivated by his entourage of artists, poets, and dancers. I invited Michael Magrath to show his new sculptures, and I commissioned dancers Abby Enson and Arlette Moody to choreograph new work to be performed at the opening reception, January 10, 2020.
