The Space Between: Photo Collages by Barbara Levine

In my newest series in progress, "The Space Between", I am creating photographic collages to explore the tangled threads of identity, place and time. Inspired by glossy magazine pages, grainy home movies, projected film slides and photo album pages, I use fragments of found vintage photographs from my collection and from my own photographs and set spaces and lines between disparate details to merge them and create photo collages that are ambiguous, intimate and dreamlike. I am interested in making images to inhabit; in which senses are heightened, the past is the present, time slows and instead of hurrying us along, seduces us to linger.
