Photographs by Anna Tomczak
The unique images of artist
Anna Tomczak were on view in the Museum’s ground floor gallery through October
10, 1999. Her photographs are detailed assemblages of people, flowers, bubbles,
winged insects, writings, and numerous other objects collected during her travels.
The objects, whether found in museums or in dumpsters, represent a visual language
of treasures which Tomczak states is “a combination of impressions and symbols,
objects that were once prized by lives now passed.”
Tomczak’s photographs include meticulously prepared Polacolor image transfers
on watercolor paper, high resolution digital images printed on Arches paper,
and hand painted silver prints. An Erie native who now lives in Florida, Tomczak
has received numerous fellowships and grants from the State of Florida, Polaroid
Corporation, and Atlantic Center
for the Arts, among others.
