Padgett "A Place of Study", 2021 Archival Pigment Print 64,67 cm x 96 cm edition of 3 + 1 AP | | | | The spaces we create have meaning. These spaces are enclosed by structures. These structures definitely have meaning. What we don‘t see at first glance is the resonation of those who occupy and use these spaces, but they are there, they are palpable. Laura J. Padgett has spent time in the Frankfurt Westend Synagogue recording resonances, making images between space, structure, spirit and time. Through them we learn what resilience can be and how it expresses itself in the presence of things small and large. | | | | | | Laura J.
