Judith Black in upcoming Davis Museum exhibit, Wellesley College

Posted on 19 August 2010

Opening September 15 with an evening reception at The Davis Museum, “Calculated Risks: New Work by Faculty Artists”

For almost 30 years, Judith Black has been photographing her immediate family and self. Black says, “Using images of family as a touchstone for memories reveals a deep collective need to make our personal narratives and memoirs a true representation of the past, which of course they can never be.  The photographs I exhibit are my family album made public, or perhaps the reverse, my “art” made useful within the domestic space.”
