Wallflower
8 October - 31 October 2015
Models are often nameless and unknown, but not in Wallflower, a new exhibition by Sara Teresa.
Sara Teresa’s subjects are not nameless models, but people in her life – friends, colleagues, family. Her subjects are her collaborators, as she explores the idea of a person blending into the background, and what it can mean. The subjects were asked about introspection, silence, shyness, disregard, and themselves. The result is a compelling collection of colour and monochrome portrait photography and the accompanying book of the same name, that explores what lies beneath, both figuratively and literally.
About Sara
In her own words:
“born in the Pacific northwest, on the coast of Oregon
raised in a moving van
entertained by forbidden literature, confusing films and an over-active imagination
chose the ‘lucrative’ degree path
stumbled out with honours in Theatre Arts
picked up a camera and said, well, what’s the worst that could happen“
