Janet Lennie Flohr: Learning to Say Goodbye August 3, 2010

Flohr completed this labor-intensive photogravure suite shortly after the death of her mother, developing this intensely personal group of images that illustrate her mother's life and death. For the suite, Flohr created tableaux in her studio with tiny calaveras acting out scenes. She then photographed the scenes and used the photographs to create the suite. The exhibition is accompanied by a stop-action video of one tableaux with skeletons acting out a scene.
