We recently viewed a wonderful film about Elsa Dorfman. In this film we watch a story of an extrodinary life told by the artist herself. Her giant Polaroid portraits are facinating. The use of such a large camera by one person, nevermind a small woman is an effort worth merit. Her portraits were made with the huge Polaroid Land 20x24 camera. She shot more than 1000.

Give it a watch if you know her work or you don't.

Artist Action
We wanted you to know about ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE We just couldn't use a red graphic we're into bubble blue or something that doesn't figt with artwork so we made some alternates. Most important is to use the hashtag and to share and pirchase art. Be kind, generous, and support artists during this difficult time. Thanks to Matthew Burrows for being an arts activist!
Fellow artists we wanted to make you aware of this campaign that has launched on Instagram. Show your generosity. Sell some affordable work, buy some affordable work.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support and gallery work. Exhibitions and sales have disappeared.
In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress Matthew Burrows has instigated the ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE #artistsupportpledge

Focal Points: Women Advancing the Aperture showcases contemporary female photographers whose work centers on the themes of illusion, perception, and perspective against the backdrop of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Like their antecedents, this exhibition celebrates the strength, conviction, and advancements made by women to address gender parity and the powerful role art plays in producing multiple layers of dialogue.
