>[Feb 07, 2002] I am grateful to Anita Chernewski for organizing an
>exhibition at the Pinhole Visions web site of the artist Marcia Sheer, who
>died in 1989.

>"In the late 70's Ms. Sheer shifted her creative efforts to photography.
>Experimenting at first with various media from black and white to altered
>SX-70 Polaroid¹s, she finally decided to avoid modern equipment and
>mechanized printing processes, instead Ms. Sheer employed simple
>hand-constructed pinhole cameras and nineteenth century printing
>techniques to achieve images with a haunting, magical quality." - Anita

>"I fantasize that I control the stream of light entering the camera
>through its tiny opening. This light stream gently travels around the
>camera's interior and I use it to paint the image onto the film with
>little brush-like strokes. Eventually, I control this magical light
>stream, will it to inscribe all the poetry and essence of what was to
>become a completely formed image in my camera." - Marcia C. Sheer
