Interiors
January 31 – February 26, 1986
From the Three Points Twelve Views exhibition catalogue:
Lucy Capehart is a friendly kind of spy, on her friends, on her family, and, by extension, on all of us. Her photographs of other peoples’ possessions and private spaces transform the passive viewer into an active voyeur. She coerces us into wondering, with her, how much of our visual interpretation of the world is determined by the objects we see every day. The scale of Capehart’s pictures adds an element of insistence and helps to infuse the possessions they record with a life of their own.
Lucy Capehart has been a photographer since 1986. She has held solo exhibitions at the Portland Art Museum, Y Gallery in New York City, the Missoula Art Museum in Montana, and Blue Sky. Her work has been featured on book and CD covers and has been published in the New York Times Sophisticated Traveler Magazine, Oxford American, Architecture and in the book Local Heroes Changing America (Norton, 2000). Her work is in the collections of the Center for Creative Photography, the Special Collections Library at Duke University, and the Navajo Nation Museum in Window Rock, Arizona.
