From Land to Air, a Trail of Life Experience
Throckmorton Fine Arts is pleased to present the exhibition 鈥淔rom Air to Earth, a Trail of Life Experience,鈥� a show that unites the work of nine contemporary women photographers from Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Spain, and the United States. The work taken in Latin America spans from the mid 1940鈥檚 to the first decade of this century.
Their exploration of the territory though the camera revolves around different cultural, experiential, and artistic issues. It ranges from archeological landscapes of the Mexican Mayan ruins by Laura Gilpin a pioneer photographer of indigenous communities, to aerial views of archeological sites by Marylin Bridges, and to the abstraction and visual experimentation present in the work by Mari虂a Garci虂a, a photographer with a career of over sixty years who has not yet received the recognition she has long deserved. Like many women artist, she was overshadowed by the spotlight cast on her male peers by critics and art professionals.
Photography, like a writer with a pen or a draftsman with a sketchbook, has offered artists the ability to move, travel, see, and capture new and unknown horizons. In the specific case of women photographers, the act itself can be seen as a key to emancipation and freedom of expression.
