New Exhibition at Pinhole Visions
=================================
[Feb 07, 2002] I am grateful to Anita Chernewski for organizing an
exhibition at the Pinhole Visions web site of the artist Marcia Sheer, who
died in 1989.
"In the late 70's Ms. Sheer shifted her creative efforts to photography.
Experimenting at first with various media from black and white to altered
SX-70 Polaroid¹s, she finally decided to avoid modern equipment and
mechanized printing processes, instead Ms. Sheer employed simple
hand-constructed pinhole cameras and nineteenth century printing
techniques to achieve images with a haunting, magical quality." - Anita
Chernewski
"I fantasize that I control the stream of light entering the camera
through its tiny opening. This light stream gently travels around the
camera's interior and I use it to paint the image onto the film with
little brush-like strokes. Eventually, I control this magical light
stream, will it to inscribe all the poetry and essence of what was to
become a completely formed image in my camera." - Marcia C. Sheer
