007, Natalie Christinsen

007 - Natalie Christensen is the seventh in an ongoing collaboration with Open Doors Gallery publishing the work of emerging photographers.

"Like many artists who come from the Southwest, I was immediately drawn to the light and the surreal qualities it creates in negative space. I began studying the color fields, geometric shapes and juxtapositions created by the light and shadow. Six years ago I experienced an unplanned move to New Mexico from Kentucky where I had spent my entire life. This move was coupled with a decision to leave my career as a psychotherapist and my professional identity behind... My images emphasize what is happening within the frame an invite the viewer to contemplate what is happening outside the edges but can't be seen." - Natalie Christinsen
