The Golden Pillow, 2008
From the series Sparrow Lane

Saturday, January 17th, Winter '07 Hot Shot Holly Andres will be showing her new series, Sparrow Lane, at DNJ Gallery in Los Angeles.

From the press release:

With a suite of fifteen color photos in a show called "Sparrow Lane," Holly Andres has marked off a brilliantly chromatic bit of cinematic turf for fine art photography. In some respects, Andres's narrative images amplify the aesthetic concerns first delineated by Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin and Lauren Greenfield. Sherman's chameleonic self-enacted narrative deconstructed B-movie images of women and Greenfield's deceptively casual portraits of adolescent females critiqued a culture- wide consensus of sexual identity. In an atmospheric array of compelling photo images, Andres has combined both these conceptual issues and dramatically moved beyond them into a mysterious and starkly symbolic world. This realm seems to tap directly and powerfully into a collective, unconscious mind where archetypes loom and elide portentously through light and shadow.
