Sandra Russell Clark: Cut Adrift

Sandra Russell Clark: Cut Adrift at Andrew Smith Gallery in Santa Fe, NM. "...In 1998 Clark and her husband had recently moved from the New Orleans' French Quarter to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Attracted by the lush beauty of the region they had bought a house and separate studio spaces a few blocks from the beach, moved in their possessions and set up their respective studios. Clark was in the habit of keeping the negatives from her most recent work in a briefcase. After Katrina hit the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005 her briefcase of negatives was all that remained of thirty years of work. All her photographs, articles, documents, limited edition books and camera equipment, along with her home and its contents lay under three stories of debris."
