CAROLYN RADLO
	ABOUT
		Carolyn Radlo, whose artistic practice encompasses video, photography, writing, and sculpture, began as a painter. The work she produces is formally diverse yet the process and "look" are remarkably consistent: There is soft focus, suspension of time and object, the use of light, optics, and color to transmute or transfigure the image, and a concern with ideas. Even as a painter, the images she produced were symbolic. Her aim has been to express an impression of the world, that behind the surface of human experience -- emotional, historical, psychic, or collective experience -- there is something hidden, unseen. It is hidden but comes into focus in the camera which can do what the eye cannot -- see into the in between. The in between is silent, inner, indistinct, and mysterious. It is nearly ineffable, but the symbol points to it, and the lyric phrase describes it. That's about all that can be said. Holding the tension of attention is part of the process and part of the outcome. The works are meditative and intentionally intellectual. Carolyn Radlo works often with her daughter Alanna Simone in a collaborative effort they call C+A Projects.
