Library
of Congress recently acquired twenty-three photographs by Helen M. Stummer
The
Library of Congress recently acquired twenty-three photographs by
Helen M. Stummer as a gift/purchase for their permanent collection. The
photographs document poor families living in Newark, New Jersey, Stummer's
hometown. There are also selections from East 6th Street on the Lower
East Side of Manhattan where Stummer began her social documentary career
in 1977.
Stummer's long-term commitment to the struggles and dignity of
the poor is evident in her photographs. Whether photographing the spontaneity
of children playing on inner-city streets and litter-strewn vacant lots,
or the reality of the elderly struggling to survive on a fixed income,
Stummer's photographs portray her subjects with respect and compassion.
The acquisition of Helen Stummer's photographs strengthen the
Library's outstanding collection of documentary photography, which includes
Lewis Hine's extensive photographic documentation for the National Child
Labor Committee, the archives of the Farm Security Administration/Office
of War Information, and Ansel Adams's photographs of a Japanese relocation
camp at Manzanar, California.

Christine
Burgoyne, recent review Masks and Alterations
Computers - miracles and menaces!
Masks and Alterations, an exploration of female identity by photographer
Christine Burgoyne, is now on display at the Commencement Art Gallery.
A powerful, exacting exhibition of black-and-white prints, Burgoyne's
work immediately elicits emotions of intrigue, captivation and overall
questioning of the female form.
"Alterations are what we choose to do to our bodies some by choice…some
not," said Burgoyne. "Alterations then become the mask that
we wear… for protection or possibly a vehicle of transformation or for
healing."
Burgoyne's choice of size, in regards to the display of her work, is of
utter importance. Her life-size and larger prints grab the viewer's eye
from across the gallery - demanding attention and recognition. In "I
am silence" (perfectly placed for single viewing), her model is covered
in a cracking mud mask - leaving only her dark eyes to penetrate. It is
a face only covered in earth, but this mask, like many, hides something
unknown through its layers.
"Masks {are} often transparent tot he viewer but very real to the
wearer," said Burgoyne.
With "Six 16", Burgoyne incorporates the use of sewing patterns
paper to further illustrate her message of masks as concealers of the
body - which are not necessarily worn by the women's request. Confronting
the issue of suffocation of female size in our culture, Burgoyne uses
the paper to wrap and cover her model like a clear plastic body bag. Tight
and constricting, the woman is confined - the focal point directed on
the face with eyes closed. The detail is near overwhelming, highlighting
the individual eyelashes and eyebrow hairs.
Burgoyne's work is one of the most striking and contemporary-minded black-and-white
exhibitions Commencement has shown in recent memory. Her continuity and
message are precise and uncompromising with a technical prowess that recognizes
and utilizes the power of art construction and display.
