Reconciliation: Photographs by S. Billie Mandle

2010 NY Foundation for the Arts Fellowship recipient S. Billie Mandle presents the works in her Reconciliation project—-a photographic series of Catholic confessionals, made from the penitent's perspective. Using available light, Mandle abstracts the small rooms, looking at the relationship between the tangible structure of the confessional and the intangible ritual of the space. She will discuss and show examples of these photographs, which were influenced by her Italian-American background.
