About the Item

archival ink prints on mulberry paper. signed by the artist. edition of 3 Tamara Rafkin has been creating artwork most of her life and exhibiting her work for more than twenty years and has an extensive exhibiting history of her photography work. Having grown up and attended college in the Deep South of the US, she has lived many places including New York City, San Francisco and for ten years in Flanders, Belgium. This varied experience contributes to her outlook and process found within her artwork. She is currently based in Brooklyn NY. "Creating what is abstract at first glance, but is actually a record of the life –beauty occurring out of pain and destruction, a metaphor for the scars we all have that make us who we are. We all suffer tragedy and pain; it is part of the human existence. We can choose to remember it and learn from it. Change it into something beautiful or we can choose to forget it, ignore it, cover it up and risk returning to it later to be hurt again. These marks are of Berlin and they remain to remind everyone of the communal history. I became entranced with these details while exploring the city, these marks of the society's’ history and the acknowledgement of their past. They choose to remember, discuss and live with it as part of their being. The wounds spoke to me, and in them I saw not only the anger and hurt of the past but the beauty of their existence. The way the city acts as a corporeal body for the culture at large, exposing it’s scars and accepting them." -Tamara Rafkin Scars project 2015-18
