\nKingston, RI\u2014Ancient, mythical, and contemporary themes unite in an impressive photographic series ongoing since 2002 by Worcester, MA resident Donna Hamil Talman. Using a Holga camera whose plastic lens naturally distorts, she makes manipulated gelatin silver images of ancient vertebrate fossils (dinosaur bones), with toners and selectivebleaching and watercolor. Through these delicate, if labor intensive pictorial effects, the vertebrates, as displayed traditionally in museums, are represented tenderly, abstractly and as unique photographic images. Moreover, the skeletal subjects appear in near embryonic states, intentionally raising questions of birth\/death and extinction\/transformation. <\/p>\n


\nTalman explains, \u201cBones are what remain after we die, but\u2026What is ancient reminds me of our deep connection to nature and each other, a bond easily lost in our fast-paced, high tech lives.\u201d The transformed image – resonant of \u201cpsychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of existence\u201d \u2013 is what the artist cherishes. The artist makes marks on her negatives and other instinctive interventions to convey the omnipresent sense of history and the \u201cI feel it in my bones\u201d intuition that she values most highly. <\/p>\n


\nHamil Talman has exhibited her work throughout New England. In 2005 she won a Visual Arts Sea Grant from the 溏心vlog免费B站. Other recent grants include a 2006 Kinnicut Award from the Worcester Art Museum and several from the Massachusetts Cultural Commission. The photographer has taught extensively and been active internationally for many years in the alternative photography community. <\/p>\n
