Artist Statement
Rebecca Tolk
Quiet Wonders
It is through photography I find that I am best able to express the respect and fascination I feel for the natural world. My work is intensely personal, as nature is my sanctuary. Here I am captivated by the unexpected details and subtle intricacies. It is my intention through my images to share these moments and honor their beauty. This is an ongoing project inspired by my daily wonderings through meadows, gardens and forests.
I am often asked how I achieve the unique quality of my images. This is the ethereal result of a Holga camera, even though many viewers think these images were digitally altered. After shooting with traditional 35 mm cameras, I began experimenting with the Holga, and discovered that the size, weight, format and image quality offered me a new freedom in my work. Now I feel I have truly found my artistic voice and vision.
