Priscilla Ferguson Forthman

Over the last twenty years, Priscilla Ferguson Forthman has consistently produced evocative images of nature and culture in a precarious but successful balance. Her richly saturated black and white photographs more often than not act as rhetorical questions inviting the viewer into a problematic relationship with their subjects. As a fifth generation Floridian Priscilla is immersed in the poetry of sand, highway, everglade and horizon; her images are often startling; ripe with irony, sadness and wonderment.

Priscilla is a travelling photographer moving through a deeply familiar territory that continues to yield in each frame yet another layer of mystery in the cosmology of the tropics.
