Uta Barth "...and to draw a bright white line with light"
2011, Inkjet prints
"..and to draw a bright white line with lights," captured my attention because of its simplicity. Here we have an ordinary white curtain, with the everyday light shining across it; but the calm light resting on the curtain, and the gentle hand intersecting the scene speaks to a more complex theme. I feel as though this image conveys the idea of nature and human interaction in it's most basic form- partnership. The hand is joining the light on the curtain in a gentle caress, expressing the beauty that can be created when people and nature join together in calm company.
