Holly Roberts made a striking appearance in the photography world in the 1970’s with hauntingly painted black and white photos. She found that the slick surface allowed her to more fluidly manipulate the paint, and scratch delineations into the wet surface. The images are layered symbolic ghosts, mostly stick-figure people in the beginning, then adding zoomorphic elements to the dreamlike hybrid forms. In recent years, the animal kingdom has played a more dominant role in Roberts’ work. Like Mexican and Indigenous cultures of the American Southwest, animals act as vehicles to convey narrative and mythology. The newer works also address questions about humankind’s effect on the land, exploring the place of animals in our imagination.
