A.T. Willett 80's
Artist statement:
“These 1980s Archive photographs, captured with a Nikon camera using Kodak TriX or Kodachrome 35mm film, document tiny moments in time and the complex relationships between people and their environment. There is a thin line which separates black from white, life from death, love from hate, beauty from ugliness, compassion from contempt, my life will present both sides if I’m open enough to see this complex dichotomy. If I can stand in the middle of this thin, shifting, line with a camera, the moments I capture will reveal truth and beauty.” These images are my stories, remain, a frozen moment captured in time.
