In high school, I always seemed to roll with people who had great talent. It still boggles the mind that people I went to high school with have gone on to continue in their Art, and create captivating pieces. One of those such people is Stephanie Cinelli. She has the gift of the eye, which helps in the staging and storytelling that goes on within her photography. One such piece, You Are Important, is available for purchase through 20x200. Imagine trying to tell the story of a family going through separation and divorce... without words. The art of making an image sing/scream/curse/sob is just one of the many gifts Steph has, and the above piece is no exception. More from the artist:Beneath the carefully composed tableaux of these photographs underlies the common thread of unsettled individuals and broken lives. This body of work attempts to grasp the subtleties of the changing landscape of a household divided and the everyday struggle of a family enduring separation and divorce. These fragmented lives are described through their belongings, strewn about, laid to collect dust, now forgotten. Their surroundings, once vestiges of safety and sanctuary, now lost. Lacking a voice to narrate their history, the environment is left to tell the story for the family.
Very interesting stuff. For more information on Stephanie Cinelli, hit up her website, or this interview over at Jen Bekman's blog.
