LatiNatural by Shirley Miranda-Rodriguez

Opening Night Reception Thursday April 22, 2004 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM Exhibit on display through Sunday May 23, 2004

The LatiNatural collection, by photographer Shirley Miranda-Rodriguez, examines the visual definition of the "North American" Latina. Shot entirely during the photographer’s fifth month of pregnancy, the collection encompasses the images of 118 women photographed in an unchanging background, wearing no make up, in either a delicate white sheet or in the nude. The photographs are duotone images shot in both 35mm and medium format. The exhibit will feature a preview of 20 photographs from the collection which is in development for a coffee table book.
