THE HANDMADE TALE- Debra Achen & Diana H. Bloomfield > Exhibition #5
Exhibition #5
Patricia Scialo/Bonsai No 4
Patricia Scialo's concentration on historic and alternative processes in photography has led to the creation of handmade unique prints that combine mixed media techniques such as hand-tinting, encaustic, and hand paper-making. Inspired by the interaction of material and subject, approaching an interweaving of the two.
Patricia has exhibited at numerous art centers on the east coast and internationally. She has been awarded state fellowship grants, several Best of Show Awards and she is the 2020 winner of the Women in Photography, 15th Julia Margaret Cameron Gala Awards, Barcelona, in the categories of Abstract, Alternative Processes, and Children.
Her work "Portraits of My Daughters" was part of the Festival Internacional De Fotografia De Avintes May 2024, Portugal.
Patricia Scialo says, "When searching for a subject through my camera lens, I begin with Light.
My eye is attracted to how light falls on a subject, how it highlights, softens or sometimes diffuses, creating an emotional response. I find it intriguing that light can create patterns and transform a subject by emphasizing texture and added dimension."

Susan-Kaufer Carey/Have A Little Faith
Susan Kaufer Carey is a Los Angeles and New York based visual artist and writer who uses photography and mixed media to tell stories of identity and reclamation. Through photography, encaustic, mixed media, poetry and prose, her work explores reclamation of authenticity, vulnerability, creativity and humanity. Despite our vast differences, her work reveals the common threads that unite us all.
Susan got her BA in theater at Bennington College, then worked in New York City for fashion photographer Joel Brodsky where she honed her darkroom skills printing for the book Brodsky shot of Jim Morrison and the Doors. While living and working in Rome, Italy refining her work as a street photographer she earned her Italian Press Pass, moved back to her hometown of Los Angeles and opened a portrait studio specializing in fine art nudes, album covers, pregnancy and newborn portraits.
In 2015 Susan closed her commercial studio to focus soley on her fine art. Susan’s art work has been exhibited at SoHo Photo Gallery NYC, Foto Nostrum Barcelona, Museo de Naturaleza, The dnj Gallery, The Neutra Museum, Los Angeles Center of Photography, Los Angeles Photographers Association Gallery 825, LA Artcore, Art Share LA, Sparrow Gallery, A Smith’s Gallery, Black Box Gallery , A Photo Place Gallery, Hilliard Gallery and Ph21 Gallery in Budapest .

Her photography and poetry have been featured in Art and Cake Magazine. Her work is held in private collections in the US and Rome, Italy.
Susan-Kaufer Carey says, "This series of encaustic photo-based work explores how beauty and grace intermingle in imperfect environments with rupture and chaos. In times of tumult it pays homage to finding silence, mercy, hope and joy inwardly."

Susan Richman/Five Sardines
Susan Richman says, "The emotional appeal of water underpins my series Confluence. The title refers to the joining of rivers and is a metaphor for blending the two historic practices I use to create my images: Gyotaku and Cyanotype. Gyotaku, a form of nature printing, uses the subjects as printing plates and creates a fossil-like appearance that emphasizes the importance of my subject’s recognition and the challenges that threaten their survival. The wet cyanotype technique I use untethers and melds the subjects to a fantasy environment created for them to happily live and thrive."
Originally from a small town in Pennsylvania, Richman lived and
traveled throughout the world before making New York her home following her graduation from Art Center College of Design. Prior to Covid, she was an educator at The International Center for Photography in NYC.
Recent 2024 exhibition include Neighboring Vision: Westchester Artists Then and Now, Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, NY, Environmental Memento Mori , The Arkell Museum, Canjoharie, NY
Bloom, dkGallery, Marietta GA, Studies in Still Life, Soho Photo Gallery NY, (Un)Natural Cycles): Air Water and Land, Center for Fine Art Photography, Fort Collins, CO, and Metamorphosis, Silvermine Galleries, New Canaan, CT
She is represented by Upstream Gallery in New York, dk Gallery inGeorgia and Silvermine Arts Center in Connecticut

Honorable Mention
Honorable Mention
Teri Figliuzzi says, "A compulsive gatherer, I have a fascination and obsession with organic forms.
Fields, gardens, forests, lakes and oceans welcome me and accept me. They feed my soul with tranquility and peace, and give my eyes and mind the gift of color and beauty beyond our human world.
Nature’s growth and rebirth are an ever present reminder to try again and move forward. With my hands, I compose foliage fragments of flowers, petals, leaves, to create phytograms on film using a plant based developer.
This technique and the process of backing with silver and gold leaf is used to elevate, honor and celebrate the beauty of the unnoticed, forgotten, and discarded.
Working with plant materials in this manner preserves the memories of moments surrounded by unmatched beauty and strength.
It has brought me much joy, and a deep appreciation for the perseverance of nature and its healing power. My work brings focus to all stages of life both tangible and ethereal."
Teri Figliuzzi combines her passions for textiles, color, and alternative processes in photography to create cyanotypes, lumen prints, and phytograms producing work that emphasizes a ‘touched by hand’ approach.
Process and technique exploration is central in her work, often combining weaving, stitching, or gold and silver leafing in the finished images.
Using botanicals, seaweed and organic materials as her subject matter, she brings awareness to the fragile, discarded, and unnoticed in life.
Juried group shows include Center for Fine Art Photography “In Context: 30 Over 50” in 2020 and “In Conversation with the Land” 2021, a Lucie Foundation “Notions from Home” 2021 Category Winner, the Curators Choice Award from the Praxis Gallery “The Artist Intervenes” 2021 exhibit, Rfotofolio Open Call Merit Award 2022, All About Photo Magazine #33 Nature 2nd place 2023, Soho Photo Gallery “National Competition 2022 and 2023 ”, Photo Place "Botanical 2023", the Center of Photographic Art "2023 Members’ Juried Exhibition", and The Griffin Museum Members Show in 2024.
She holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Textile Design and resides in New York City where she continues her education in the arts.
