Tracy L Chandler’s compelling and poignant series Edge Dwellers is photography at it’s best. The work speaks to the power of the medium as a vehicle for baring witness, for understanding and contemplating humanity, and for providing connection to unseen populations. Tracy’s large format capture of marginalized individuals that make their home on the edges of the California coast reveals a particular community that is often ignored and misunderstood, as they struggle with the affects of addition and abuse. A large part of her practice is connecting to her subjects in a profound way, slowing down her photography and making portraits as a collaborative experience.
