Karen Duncan Pape: The Deep Heart’s Core


  • Chroma Projects 3rd Street Southeast Charlottesville, VA, 22902 United States (map)

“The Deep Heart’s Core”, captures Connemara, Ireland, along the Galway Bay, and celebrates that liminal space and honors my genetic memory as well. It is a place that is wild, windy and a reminder of those who went before me.
My desire to explore the unseen has led me to experiment with in-camera motion and multiple exposure to refine emotional landscapes that are drawn from reality but may not always be seen there. It is a long process with many failures, but the results
can be satisfying. Most of these photographs involve either movement or layering of images.
Above all, it is joy in this present world that propels much of my work, and it is the search for the unknown that refines it. K.D.P.
