Eerie and Lovely
29 Feb 04 by DL Byron
I had not seen the work of Loretta Lux until I read the NY Times review (subscription) of her new show. We used a similar, but not as lovely, digital technique for one of our net.art pieces. The photos remind me of the Cremaster Cycle, where a whole other world is created across mediums. To me, her work captures the secret worlds children create that are neither here nor there.

I think you are right -b-. They are eerie. I think comparing them with Barney's vision - it spanned ten years- is premature. She does create a sense of other-worldly places but the obviousness of the technique is distracting. It will be interesting to see where this work goes.

did you see her show in person?

Yes I did. They are much different in person. The technique is even more obvious.
