The Light Factory here has had an exhibit of photographs by Flor Gorduno. I like all of her work but especially "Basket of Light." This exhibit called "Native Soil" included photographs by Graciela Iturbide, Yolanda Andrade, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Maya Goded, Patricia Martin, and Vida Yovanovich. The ones I was impressed by showed daily lives of Mexican women and life in a home for the elderly. They all meant so much more to me than the other exhibit "Tangle of Complexes" by nine "artists who embrace dualities of life and death, and of past and present, experimenting with a variety of photographic processes, from toned gelatin silver prints and platinum/palladium prints to gelatin siver emulsion on aluminum with oil paint." I don't understand how they chose which negatives to print. I would have thrown them all in the trash. It really makes it hard for me to edit my own work. Who knows what those out-of-focus, under-exposed mistakes might be worth someday!!
