Amy Friend/Dare alla Luce

When scrolling through the list of artists for this week my
eyes could not stop going back the work of Amy Friend. The images caught my attention at first
because of the way she has the spots of light I thought it might have been
another experiment of lights and motion, but learned quickly that the images
were actually vintage photographs that had been altered in a way that would
allow for the light to shine through the photographs. To do this she made numerous
pinholes in a certain way that breathed new life into some old timeless photos. The light that is let in not only enhances
the original photo buy the holes themselves create a new images all on their
own. I think this is best seen in her piece “Afterglow” where that addition of
light seeping into the photo makes this piece feel magical.
