“BLUE”
Pinhole Van Photographs
BY
MARIAN ROTH
August 9 - August 21, 2002
Opening Reception: Friday, August 9, 7-10 p .m.
The Driskel Gallery at the Schoolhouse Center is proud to present recent pinhole
photographs by Marian Roth. For the past 10 years, Marian Roth has been making pictures with pinhole cameras, most of them from found objects like popcorn tins which she converts into cameras. The images in this exhibition have all been made in a 1986 Dodge Caravan which she turned into a mobile, large-format pinhole camera. Both the technique and the final images produced are idiosyncratic and intimate, evoking a feeling of mystery and timelessness. These images of boats in the bay, cottages in the woods, clouds and fences and meadows always surprise:” the images feel magical because without a lens to focus and an eyepiece to view what you are shooting, everything is unknown.”
Marian Roth has been making photographs for over 25 years. She has been
awarded the prestigious New England foundation for the Arts Individual Fellowship in Photography, and in 2000 she won a Guggenheim Foundation grant.This is her 5th season exhibiting at The Schoolhouse.
