Lori Van Houten presents a series of multi-panel photographic works, entitled Raptors and Songbirds, which is inspired by the long tradition of storytelling as a means of understanding human experience. She explores the concept of fairy tales and how they use the divine or supernatural to teach valuable life lessons to young women in particular. Romantic images constructed into triptychs form visual narratives that shed light on the way these tales are told; graceful swans, dimly lit chandeliers, or the delicate folds of a silk dress seduce the audience while symbolic details of flora and fauna act as cautionary messengers. The compositions are made with photographs shot with modified Polaroid cameras, allowing the artist to record motion, alter color, and provide a slightly skewed vision. This fragmented juxtaposition of dream-like images implies a story that is told over time. Van Houten explains “my goal is not to tell a complete tale but to suggest phrases of sentences overheard in passing.”
Artist Statement:
Raptors and Songbirds, my most recent series of multi-panel photographic works, alludes to the long tradition of storytelling as a means of understanding human experience. Stories suggest ways to interpret mysteries and provide the necessary tales for survival. In particular, fairy tales have long been a rich source, often employing divine powers and other supernatural characters to pass down relevant life experiences. This series flirts with the methods of the fairy tale; seducing with color and beauty while using flora and fauna as cautionary messengers.
I photograph and create libraries of images then used to form narratives; similar in structure to words building a sentence. My goal is not to tell a complete tale but to suggest phrases or fragments of sentences over heard in passing. There is an urgency to understanding the message although the story may not be entirely clear.
All of the photographs in the Raptors and Songbird series are made with modified Polaroid cameras. I use the attributes of instant film to record motion, alter color and provide a slightly skewed vision. The film is scanned with high resolution and printed on Moab Entrada rag paper. Each triptych is 13” x 38” including border, printed in an edition of 5 with 2 artist proofs.
