Boston photographer Vivien Goldman presents her exhibit LEFT AND LET BE: Abandoned Structures in North Dakota during the month of August 2012 at Jacob Edwards Library. The show will be on view from August 2 to August 31 in the main hall. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 2nd. All welcome, light refreshments offered by the Friends of Jacob Edwards Library. I like photographing the inside of old buildings and the things I find there, often single objects, illuminated briefly, by light from a nearby window. This project was inspired in part by Pablo Nerudas poems, Odes to Common Things, that celebrate the ordinary things of everyday life and carry within them the stories, real or imagined, of the people who used them. The everyday things in these photographs are repositories of history, of objects in the lives of strangers that are made new again by my own presence and my own purposes.
Artist Statement:
I am fascinated by things inside and outside and the underlying forces that drive us – the desires, fears, loves – that move us, one way or another.

I still photograph with film. The large 4x5 format suits my purposes for reflection, a meditative-like process that takes me out of our electronic world and gives me a sense of solitude and possibility.
“A sequence of photographs…functions as
a little drama of dreams with a memory.”
