Hickox
photos
hard to
piece
together

From: page 43

cosmic stillness, the impending
dissolution of things, and resoun-
ding existential emptiness that is
common to both.

Ms. Hickox tells us her works
are ‘stories’ that ‘give glimp-
ses into passing moments, periods
of change, confusion, and growth
in my life. ©

They explore ideas about loss
and the passing of time.”

This description refers to se-
quences of black-and-white
photos like The Island.

The latter consists of separate
shots of an island with a gull taking
off from the water, a rope coiled in
the grass, a stuffed doe on a dais lit
from below, a fetus inside a trans-
parent, balloon-like womb, and a
biurred image.

In spite of the artist's declared

. interest in visually evoking the
kind of narrative that is charac-
teristic of short stories, these pic-
tures are hard to piece together.

While the individual images are
skilfully rendered, perceptually
striking and emotionally
stiraulating, the overall conceptual
Pattern seems to be comprised of
Hickox’ cryptic personal symbol-
ism.

Photo-artists like Benoit and
Hickox are plagued by another
problem.

In the efforts to protect their
vulnerable work they feel com-
pelled to put it behind glass. The
trouble is, this significantly in-
terferes with the esthetic appeal of
the pieces. The reflection from the
glass makes it impossible to view
the images underneath.
