About
the Photographs
The term “psychometry” refers to the pseudo-science of
"object reading," the purported psychic ability to divine the history
of objects through physical contact. Like amateur psychometrists, viewers of
these photographs are invited to interpret arrangements of tarnished and
weathered objects, relying on the talismanic powers in the vestiges of human
presence. These images suggest a world in which ordinary belongings transcend
their material nature to evoke the elusive presence of the past.

I have been enthralled by Carol's fine art photography since 1997. She is an inspiration and one of the hardest workers and passionate image makers I know. Her app on her Psychometry work is terrific - giving us insight in to her inspirations, influences, and darkroom secrets. Once one understands how complicated and involved her work is, which is non-digital, the images may be even more powerful. I encourage everyone to download her app, it's wonderfully delicious for fine art photography lovers.
