Mary Goodrich's "Finding Refuge"

攝影家瑪莉．古德里奇經常以風景、身體、植物為拍攝的主題。在「發現避難所」系列作品中，她擅長將多重影像融合在一起，以模擬時間和空間的雙重印象，特別是處理身體和自然元素中可見的押韻關係。透過形狀、線條、光影的種種排列，映射出自己的思想、情感和人生體悟。以 "I am Power" 為例，攝影師形容模特兒是一位樸實的女人，她們共同發想以火山灰泥塗抹身體，藉由女性笑聲的傳達，散發出絕對的歡愉與解放的宣示姿態。

Statement

I have always been interested in creating images that contained more than what I could see with my eyes. In the mind’s eye, several images blend together to simulate dual impressions of time or place. My moment of perfect capture is sort of like looking into a mirror, in that I recognize something that is already a part of my thoughts. It is sensation that is both emotion and familiarity.
The landscape, the body, and botanicals are the subjects I photograph most often. I discover visible rhymes and relationships in the body and natural elements. This arrangement of forms, lines, light and darkness, tells me when the image has completed itself. I multiple-expose both in camera and in post-processing to achieve the effect.
