Weekend Portfolio: Kristin Linnea Backe

As a former musician, the study of tonality and form are important to me, as is the flow of a melodic line. Music is a way of saying without really saying, a medium to hide oneself in order to reveal oneself. It gives immense freedom but the the freedom is contained, pared down, as it is in photography. In photography meaningful objects can be the means for looking without telling, for asking questions without giving answers. The examination of these objects in time, as they are touched by light, may give the viewer the power to see in darkness.
