Janet Sternburg, need to see





Janet makes photos by gazing into a store window and becoming interested in all that a single pane of glass can contain.  "These photographs are born from an inexhaustible desire to look;  to meditate on intention and accident; to uncover the layers of experience within a moment;  to mingle inside and outside, to play with fertile confusion;  to be attentive to those moments when everyday reality becomes charged;  to respond to that charge with images that convey elusive but potent meanings.  I have stood in the places and found these reflected images, without manipulation, with vision.  My photographs are not the result of digital manipulation or double exposure. There are pictures of what happens when one suspends conventional seeing."  Posted by Barbara A Churilla
