Things I Never Told You
May 17 - June 23, 2007
Denise Prince Martin's recent photographic work makes narratives of environments.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Denise Prince Martin's photographic series of women is a veritable library. Each image has the same structure: a woman in an environment holding an object. Within this framework, Prince Martin orchestrates lush narratives that include the playful and the absurd. These women represent more than themselves; they each tell a tale that explores and questions their portrayal in popular culture.
