Christel Dall
This is a re-installation of an exhibit previously available at MOCA but now re-sequenced with a new image added. This re-installation seems advisable because it gives the artist a major presence on the web that is not otherwise available.
Christel Dall originally
wrote, "I am a 'compulsive photographer', working as a photojournalist for
a small daily newspaper in Denmark. I have recently begun exploring the realm
of digital art, after having digitally enhanced my photos for several years. I
work with advertising too, and sell the odd print once in a while. I was a
hobby photographer for more than ten years before I turned pro, and I am
self-taught both as a writer and photographer. Born 1965, I am a single mother
of a boy aged 5. I studied philosophy for six years and later multimedia
design, but dropped out. I worked as a nursery gardener, cleaner and department
store decorator. Generally I don´t like talking about myself. I´m not very
interesting. I pour a lot of emotions into my pictures, but ultimately the
viewer adds his own content. 'We don´t see things as they are - we see them as
we are.' (The Talmud) Besides photography, I love to work with typography and
to incorporate words as compositional elements in pictures. I can be everything
from minimalist to surrealist depending on where the whim takes me. Adobe
Photoshop is my preferred tool."
The images here are
cries of communication: letters, missives, messages from the heart. This is as
close as graphics gets to autobiography.
I like the colors and the fact that this picture looks original from way back in the early 40's and 50's with an old school look.
