S T E P HEN ALTHOUSE

While visiting my childhood farm in Pennsylvania during a past Christmas vacation, I spent some time reflecting in myoid room. Zebra Street was created during that time by placing myoid toy car upon the zebra rug which hung in that room of good memories.

Feelings and ideas experienced in my life are conjured through arranging and composing special objects which have a great deal of personal significance. The result is a variant form of the self portrait; a melange of my past and present experiences and emotions. The medium of photography is used as a documentor of these assemblages.

My work spins off in several directions simultaneously. Some of it falters quick ly, while other directions turn into a se ries of photographs and eventually into a cohesive body of work.

Often based on personal experience with rape victims and abused children, the works are figurative, two and three dimensional, multi-media responses. Inspiration for her work comes from Kathe Kollwitz, Francis Bacon, and Fri da Kahlo.

Currently, she is working with a large number of non-traditional materials in cluding nail polish, human hair, and burning. Her work experiments with the treatment of surfaces of both two dimensional pieces and small sculpted figures. The small figures are burned materials of various sorts. A piece in volving the figures usually employs a large number of them, evoking a "death camp" silence. While still evolving, the work displays a clearly recognizable Rachel Bliss, Too Late, 1990, drawing onto photographic style, that of powerful, dreamlike, paper, 5 x 3 1/2 inches.

The redhead series was an idea that I played with for quite a while. I thought that I could say something about all redheads in a few portraits. Almost a year later, I shot this image as the first of a series of six. At the end, the sev enth and final image was one sitting with all six subjects. When they were all put together and released as a body of work it brought more of a response than I had envisioned in the beginning. This work was my way of showing the unique personality of redheads that sets them apart in this exclusive group. I am still shooting redheads and contin ue the project.

MICHAEL

Since childhood, the type of art that has affected me the most has always been that which attempted to tell a story. However, I realized at an early age that the most powerful , believable stories in variably were fictions incorporating great exaggerations and the farthest departures from the mundane possible. The most convincing "true stories" were, it seemed to me, the handiwork of the most energetic liars. This ex plains my choice of photography, the liars medium, as a vehicle for invention: the photographer can present the view er with an object of absolute fabrica tion, yet have it accepted unconditional ly as fact, due to our general belief in a sort of sacred inviolability of the photo graph. -MD
