Erika Gentry: Allez | LENSCRATCH

I’ve had the great pleasure to get to know Erika Gentry over the years. She has been an active board member of SPE in California, a passionate educator, and dedicated Francophile, returning to France each summer to teach workshops and make work.  I was able to see Erika’s new project, Allez, at Photolucida and experience her time-based prints in person (seeing the work online only allows for a partial experience, as  the images are large and detailed).  While in Europe, Erika often experiences the landscape from a train window and that sense of land and time passing fold into her examination of panoramic motion.
