pipi lives and works in Sag Harbor, New York. Her painterly images unveil layers of emotion within the everyday. The stories implicit in a wooden stool, an unmade bed, a strand of light, are fixed for eternity. pipi’s photographs play at the gateway where the spiritual and the material meet: an ancient forest, a Parisian graveyard, a fallen teepee … pipi herself plays the role of the artist/seeker in their frames. She carries an antique dresser across a meadow on her back, or is a dead ballerina on a cast-iron bed. Amazingly, these snapshots stem from the flow of modern life, uncontrived and captured through a myriad of photographic means: polaroids, lomo, diana, holga, leica m-8, cell phones, underwater disposable and film (super-8). She creates art to transform, transcend, and communicate her multitude of observations, insights, thoughts and emotions which like meditation are often experienced in isolation. Her work consistently weaves together threads from different times and realities. Her work walks the fine line between a highly personal observation of inner states and a whole-hearted embrace of the world in its complexity and collusion. The result is lyrical and melancholic.
