Taos [sur]Realism: The ability to layer images and create a dreamscape from unrelated scenes opened a world of new creative possibilities for me, and while double exposures are typically made in the camera, I decided to make my first effort with this art form in the darkroom. In this series of silver-gelatin photographs, I have taken elements of the landscape, architectural forms, and the human body and created double images by overlapping two negatives in my enlarger. In contrast to the realism of traditional photographs, I have created an surreal landscape in which relationships of elements are outside the boundaries of the normal: Taos [sur]Realism. One of these photographs, "Sacred Spaces," was chosen as the poster image for the Taos Falls Arts Festival in 2015. It was the first photograph ever selected for this honor, the first black and white image, and the first abstract image. Two of these photographs, "Steven and St. Francis," and "La Dama y El Santo [II]," were chosen as Finalists in the Fine Art Photography section of the 8th Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers, an international juried competition held in 2015, and were shown at the 4th Biennial of Fine Art & Documentary Photography, Berlin, in 2016.
