Thin Lines

Leah Mae Dyjak

- May 2008

"This body of work began several years ago in an introductory photography course when I began looking through translucent materials to find a photograph. Even before I experienced the loss of loved ones or personal health, I was interested in our mortality and human fragility. One becomes marked with experience through out life, whether these marks are subtle or profound, we carry them in what we do and who we are. It is in those intangible marks that I am able to translate idea with gesture in my photographs. I shoot what I believe to be the transitional space between two worlds, where spirit or energy may cross into visual reality. The collaboration between person and landscape provides me with a voice in something grand and unchangeable, such as nature and our own momentary existence.  These gestures are a tangible demonstration of trying to build and create a conversation between my own experience and the physical mark I can put in the world.  It is in this process I am able to meditate with one of our universal connections as living beings as it relates human condition.”
