The Unspoken Word Within Me

Enamored: An exhibition about women featuring Larry’s work at the Museum of Modern Art Carlos Merida in Guatemala City.

When Adriana Teressa, publisher of Visura Magazine, approached us about making an edit of Larry’s work for a show about women the task seemed daunting. How does one shave down fifty years of work into fourteen images? What exactly about women was she looking for, the independent woman who shows her prowess in the work force, the femme fetal from cinema, or something more innate and unsaid within women? When Adriana sent over this statement the images that needed to be in the show stood out clearly:

“Enamored is about the unspoken word in a woman, the force within which ties our strength with our passion, intelligence with our body and healing power with belief; that which makes us conquerors and fearless without always having to retaliate. On the contrary, many times a strength, that is revealed in our silence.

I want to address that force that connects me with woman all over the world, transcending social, cultural and economical barriers. The feminine within. The force within. One that crucifies and crowns. Through images, let this intangible thing become tangible for an instant. Maybe this may inspire change.”

Bathing with Primal Intensions: Martha's Vineyard 1985

Film vs. Digital

These images are four well known examples of my work which serve as a preamble to a group of concerns regarding the differences between digital and film.

The primary difference for me is this- with film there is one brain which is being stimulated by factors which concern empathy, structure and on the deepest level the revelations of chance. The film camera is the instantaneous servant of the extemporaneous impulse. So often with digital, which brings another electric brain into play, there is a incremental time lag which is the difference between a miracle and a well crafted observation.

The Work of Martha Posner

During the course of our relationship- I have been drawn to and inspired by my wife Martha Posner's sculpture and mixed media work. The impact her work has on its viewer is dominated by an ongoing battle to capture the visceral; its theater of transformation and its life-force full of dread and emotive courage. What is ongoing is Martha's magnified impulses and the way she has mastered so many aspects of form and texture to extend the life of these works beyond the present while informing the present. Nevertheless, the act of photographing Martha's work is as if I was making love with the mysteries of her soul...














































Martha's Work is being shown at Dalet Art Gallery in Philadelphia until June 6th, 2010 and at Heidi Cho Gallery in Chelsea NYC fro May 27th - June 27th, 2010.
