Last week, Kim Weston worked with Jenn to create a number of gorgeous images. Here is a selection of silver gelatin prints made yesterday in Kim's darkroom on Wildcat Hill.
““I wish to convey infatuation, loneliness, guilt, fear, disgust, anguish, envy, love, serenity, contempt, loss, weakness, shame, awe, desire... I’m inspired by surrealism, abstract fashion, eye-catching color, bold makeup, unique poses, bizarre shapes, intense emotion, eccentric people, life, and my surroundings.””
“I make pictures which are meant to be direct and truthful. I do not explain or rationalize this work or my passion for it. I leave it to the viewer to find the surprises. I hope the work generates feelings; otherwise I have failed.”
