They mentored and knew each other. They also all took photographs of ordinary things by looking for subjects from everyday life. This gives us a sense of a country that feels exotic at the same time it's familiar. That's what makes it a stunning exhibit. |
We became aware of the exhibit three or four years ago. We were interested because we like to have a photographic show once a year and we feel that women artists have historically been underrepresented. Plus, there's our proximity to Mexico, which is similar to Texas'. Those elements made the show appeal to us. |
We had books in our library already on this art. That meant we could do research in our own collection. |
