She’s my version of the Lisa Mona.
Valerie Hegarty. I love her work. Its filled with ideas. She rejects the 18th and 19th century glorification of American Manifest Destiny. And reinterprets that political agenda with the “now”, with ‘reality’. And the destruction of these representative pieces of work are beautiful in themselves. Or maybe I just enjoy sitting around a camp fire. And watching the wood burn.
Her photographs look like shots from a Bergman film. Is she sheepish, shy, or disturbed? Or is she manipulating us?
reality for human beings is a blind consensus, something we learn and something we are limited by our senses. But the mind feels the walls.
I’m not sure why these double/triple images are so fascinating. Perhaps its the artist’s control and the almost accidental nature of the images.
