The Story Behind the Diptych series ...

"Diptych 3" 3.5" x 9" ferrotype diptych.  Framed to 11" x 17".  Amy Rockett-Todd 2013.

The Diptych series (consisting of 4 diptychs) are abstracted images created within a concrete bunker under a midtown Tulsa home as a response to the Cuban Missile Crisis, now used as a tornado shelter.  The images stem from various pipes within the small underground room.  The choice to create images within the diptych format was born of the dual purpose of the original bunker.  

I am pleased to announce I have six pieces of my work, including two from the diptych series, at the 108 Contemporary Gallery in the consignment gallery,  108 East Brady Street, Tulsa Oklahoma.  The folks at 108 Contemporary recently interviewed me about my work.  You can read more here:

Pinholing ...

Interested by the movement of a gallery crowd, I sat my pinhole camera on the only surface I could find at the front of the space ... the DJ table.  Unsure whether the music vibrations would affect the outcome, I exposed these shots from 6 minutes up to 8 minutes as the late evening sunlight coming into the space was failing.  These pinhole images were taken at IAO Gallery, OKC, Oklahoma, at the opening reception for the 24 Works On Paper exhibit during the Summer of 2013.  One of my monoprints is currently in this statewide traveling exhibit, which will continue to travel to eleven galleries in Oklahoma through January 2015.
