"Holzwege," the German word for wood-path, refers to paths in the forest that lead nowhere. Thus the concept of a wood-path can be seen as a metaphor for life's uncertainty. There are points in our lives when we are focused; it is as if we are on a clear path toward our goals. Other times, we feel unsure of where we are heading, or a chosen course ends unexpectedly and we must suddenly reevaluate our direction. Deborah Orloff is exploring these by creating ambiguous landscapes through the layering of multiple photographs. With digital combinations, she creates surreal, new spaces where one photograph disappears into the next. These inverted landscapes function as metaphors for the universal experience we inevitably all have, when our lives suddenly change. Just when you think you know where you're going, unexpected circumstances dictate a change in plans.
