RECONSTRUCTION
Photogenic drawings by Naomi Vanderkindren
Naomi Vanderkindren is an artist concerned with the past. She believes that the past, as defined by memory, is constantly changing in relation to new influence. One of the most suggestive influences, she asserts, is the photographic medium. With it, Vanderkindren plays with history and reconstructs it in a way that suits her own psychology.
At Lake Gallery, Naomi Vanderkindren presents, Reconstruction. This selection of images represents her efforts to build a personal relationship with the past. Rather than photographing the outside world to find it, she reconstructs the past by literally piecing together elements of her own familial history. Accordingly, she “constructs” the negatives for her richly textured, silver gelatin prints through collage of her own images, drawings, photocopies and family photographs printed on typing paper. Piecing together her own family history based on fantasy and longing, Naomi Vanderkindren presents a vision of the past that never could have been.
Naomi Vanderkindren received a BFA from San Francisco Art Institute, an MFA from Stanford University and completed the Headlands Center for the Arts Graduate Fellowship. She has exhibited in numerous solo, two-person and group exhibitions on both East and West coast and continues her art practice in San Francisco.
