Girls Rock- Showing until the end of July,2010 100 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH open most days

The Space Between, this site specific installation was a result of an invitation made by the curator, Jeanne McCartin to cull a selection of images from my live entertainment stock photographs made at venues in the region, and 10 years as house photographer at the Casino Ballroom. My response to this request resulted in the creation of a space between the audience and the performers, representing what I, as the image maker, find myself between; on one side the named performance, and on the other, the performative response by the audience.

This show is a group show, in addition to photography, the exhibition includes sculpture and painting.

Women were put in the center of the domestic sphere and were expected to fulfill the roles of a calm and nurturing mother, a loving a faithful wife, and a passive, delicate, and virtuous creature. These women were also expected to be pious and religious, teaching those around them by their Christian beliefs, and expected to unfailingly inspire and support their husbands. They were held to four cardinal virtues: 1. Piety - believed to be more religious and spiritual than men 2. Purity - pure in heart, mind, and body 3.
