“Exposure” by Lydia Boddie-Rice

Every photograph is an act of noticing. Every collage is an act of discovery.

For me, the photograph is rarely the destination. It is the beginning of a journey through memory, imagination, and material transformation.

Layers of paint, fabric, and texture invite images to move beyond documentation and into storytelling.

The works in Exposure examine what lies beneath the surface of an image and, perhaps, beneath the surface of ourselves.

Some stories emerge quietly.

Others insist on being seen.

Together they reveal the transformative power of art to illuminate, connect, and heal.
