Karen M- UNH museum



Karen M’s photographs have an older feel to them. The dark tones and small size of the photographs also makes them appear older than they are.   One set had a lot of darker tones that made them moodier; the other set had a lot of contrast to them. It makes them two distinctly separate sets of prints. There are spots on some of the pictures from the printing technique that she used, this makes the pictures look older and also makes them more chaotic.  The subjects of the pictures are also chaotic; there was a picture of a pile of clothes and another of an unmade bed.  She took pictures of everyday things around her that were messy and disorganized. The people pictured are not in focus and the other subjects are not lined up as expected.  I think I like Her pictures better because they are small and they draw you in.  You have to get up close and take a good look to see them.
