Jeannie Hutchins
My photographic practice has been my outlet for exploring life’s unanswerable questions. This subject matter is too exoteric and intangible to comprehend in the abstract so I have chosen to be a crafter of physical images of my best interpretations of where the answers may lie. I laughingly pretend that if I can control the images I make that I will be putting order into my existential musings. - Jeannie Hutchins
