Artist Statement
Breaking the Box
Life was never normal, nor will it ever be normal again. The world seems smaller, more connected even though we have been encouraged to social distance. We have found new ways to connect that are just different. The boxes we lived in are broken. Life is just different now; our framework has changed. Photographically, using the Holga, I have changed the frame to see the future world in triangles instead of the traditional four-sided box; we usually constrain our photos too.
Artist Bio
Fairy tales, folklore, and fiction motivate my imagination. I have a desire to express a world of fantasy that hides within me, often obscured from my vision. This world presents itself when triggered by scents, moments of nostalgia, dreams, and nightmares.
The vast majority of the images I make are on film. Film slows me down. I am not distracted by the immediacy of seeing the results; making the photos becomes purely about creating. Angela is a photo educator as well as the founder of Photo Club PDX.
