“The Deconstructed Self” a solo exhibition of photographic works by Natalie Christensen
Shadows and psychological metaphors are favored photographic subjects for me. I attribute this to my prior work as a psychotherapist for over 25 years, which called upon me to explore the hidden, the unconscious. I am interested in capturing the mundane, the overlooked, the in-between, for even in ordinary places I sometimes I get a glimpse of the sublime. When this happens, it feels like I have discovered gold. The photographs in this exhibition represent that gold.
My immersive exhibit will include eleven to thirty artworks, each ranging in scale and presentation. The images are simple and contemplative. Flowing through the space, the viewer will be engaged in varying levels of intimacy through post card to life-sized works. From knee-high to above eye-level, the artworks will be presented in a non-linear fashion.
