September 22
Amy Blakemore is a Houston-based artist who, as described in a museum overview for Amy Blakemore: Photographs 1988-2008 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, “takes photographs in order to explore the ways in which memory both records and transforms visual information.” Trained in the documentary tradition, her small-scale photographs suggest random snapshots while evoking something personal and poetic that puzzles and lingers. For Tuesday Evenings, Blakemore presents the unassuming and unforgettable photographs for which she has received much deserved recognition and critical acclaim.
