Deanna Dikeman

June 7-30, 2001

Deanna Dikeman’s sensitive black and white images in “Relative Moments” also explore the complexity and depth in commonplace home environments. Using her relatives as her subjects, Dikeman photographs the ordinary moments of Midwestern home life to tell stories about relationships between people, and between their homes. She writes, “Looking at the intimate details of the domestic scene triggers deeper notions about time, distance, comfort, growth, sorrow, fear, fascination, grace, regret. Meaning is found in the unremarkable.”
