My Mother's Red Shawl - El Rebozo Colorado
Stefanie Denz - Painter



I thought, as I sat for Alex, the way he wanted me to, in the spot he had so carefully constructed, then giving me to place on myself, something so disarming as the deep red simple and elegant shawl, that I would oblige him with my focused gaze. And that was a pleasure to impart and have received. I felt that I could exchange what was inside me to Alex which he could then bring to the photographic image.

I am a painter. I like to paint people and places as space. I paint persons in their place; their body. What they express outwardly is in exchange with what is inside them, this occurs on a physical level. There is also the layer of memory, personal and shared by details of clothing setting, and composition. This adds interpretation to what is expressed.
