Tanyth Berkeley: Grace

Tanyth Berkeley: Grace at Danziger Projects. "...Tanyth Berkeley first came to the attention of the art world with her 2002 - 2004 series 'Orchidaceae' – a series of 16 color portraits of different young women she had met on the subway and persuaded to pose for her in city parks. Photographed in relative close-up, eyes averting the camera, Berkeley's subjects, all of whom could be described as unusual or atypical looking, invited the viewer to create their own narrative or explanation while questioning traditional notions of beauty."
