November 21, 2011 "The stunning series … Natural History, features one-of-a-kind cyanotypes that incorporate portraiture and botanicals. The juxtaposition of faces that show history and presence with the fragility of flowers and plant life bring a renewed energy to the standard portrait." |
 |
November 3- December 2, 2011 “My top choice was Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman's exquisite portraits of elderly women adorned with botanical specimens by way of cyanotype photograms. An elegant elegy to old age and the passage of time, this work also nicely references Anna Atkins, an English botanist and the first recognized female photographer, who is credited with publishing the first book of photographic illustrations, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions." |

February 2011 “Through the clever juxtaposition of the naked body with food, Ciurej and Lochman's subtly suggestive photographs investigate ideas of obsession and consumption, ultimately commenting upon our primal instinct to devour a feast laid out before us.” |

August 2010: As part of J. Shimon & J. Lindemann's collaborative project with the Portrait Society in Milwaukee, we had our portraits taken joining the continuum of photographic history. "The project pays homage to the 'real photo postcard' – a way for isolated people in small Midwestern towns to show-and-tell something about their existence to family and friends in far-away places a century ago via the mail. The commissioned portrait-making process is fraught with issues of mortality, sentimentality, nostalgia, humility, utility, vanity and self-acceptance all encapsulated in a performance of self standing on the black tape line." Read more about the Real Photo Postcard Survey Project. |

We were among 175 finalists in 2009 Photolucida's Critical Mass for our portraits. They shared some of the juror comments with us: "Truly some of the most refreshing work I have seen in a long time. The roman bust approach along with incredibly sensitive(but revealing) lighting as a process and aesthetic work incredibly well together. The choice of women also seems important and a key part to your success. These faces offer lines to a long story worth reading. The culmination, some kind of magic I would call a fine display of matriarchy and as you said in your statement – there is not much of this out there in the world to be found. They are a bit uncomfortable to look at initially because they are both confrontational and soft – great work." |
