Susan Paulsen "Sarah Rhymes With Clara"
Deborah Bell Photographs
This event has ended.
In Vicki Goldberg's eloquent and perceptive essay for Sarah Rhymes With Clara, the author states:
"Life's major moments and cataclysms generally arrive with fanfare, but existence tends to be daily, and days fill up with insignificant matters that mean more than they say. Paulsen's life is replete with family, a house, a kitchen, a laundry line, a bed, several dogs, the sea, fruit, sunlight that steals a march on expectations, colors that reverberate, shadows that venture into the avant-garde, and a model who is perfectly comfortable doffing her clothes — Sarah, whose name rhymes with Paulsen's grandmother's and who stands in for the photographer. Nothing happens, but time acquires little punctuation marks that make sense of yesterday and today. There's a hand towel hanging on a rack: hardly momentous, merely a towel, except that it was embroidered by someone Paulsen cared about. In Arkansas, where her relatives live, she takes note of a woman's hand on an old, handwritten page: a record book kept by their common ancestors."
