Glynnis McDaris "Surfaces"
Blackston
This event has ended.
The photographs in Surfaces explore the diverse topography of interior spaces and subjective definition of domesticity. McDaris’s eloquent tableau intersects subtle, atmospheric and mildly abstracted scenes of curtained windows, a tenement stairwell, pale walls and muted surfaces with grittier, incisive still life presentations of home life: a cluttered table top from a young man’s home, a utility space in a country home and a laundry room.
Acting more as photographic detective than voyeur, McDaris’s photographs echo elements of film noir, offering subtle and overt clues to the viewer about the nature of the spaces she has captured. McDaris’s photography is a study in contrasts, both in content and sentiment, and her work is imbued with the literal and psychological duality of darkness and light. The intimate rendering of small details and private moments is embedded with the tension between soft and hard elements, quiet moments and more chaotic undertones and the timeless beauty of intimate space in a contemporary context.
