Dorothy K. Magadieu
I live in the Boston area and work primarily
in traditional black and white photography. Recently, I have
been experimenting with the alternative process of mordancage,
using photographs that I've made while traveling. Experiencing
unfamiliar customs and cultures is always of great interest
to me. Travel heightens my awareness of the way we all work
to create for ourselves a comfortable space in the world. I
find that no matter how the conditions of our lives differ,
our human bond is evident in the ordinary rituals of daily routine,
in what we create and what we discard, and in the mementos that
we keep and treasure. My subject matter may be diverse, but
in all of my photographs, appreciation of a shared humanity
is the underlying theme.
