![Swing by the O this week to check out “CURRENTS,” an annual exhibition that highlights the diverse photographic work being created by @photoalliance members. One of the photographers featured in this year’s exhibition is Margo Duvall. After losing her grandmother who lived 96 incredible years, Duvall created “All She Needed to Do.”
“The traces of my grandmother’s 96 years are there in her photographs,” explains Duvall. “The moments captured… the special occasions, the mundane, the beauty of youth, the good ole days... are all frozen in time and held still in the emulsion. This work attempts to hold those traces close, to give them space and another life. Some images attempt to recreate her moments through a modern lens. Some images just treasure the stillness that is... what remains.”
You can view Duvall’s work in “CURRENTS” at Ogden Museum through February 6, 2022.
