ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Christina McFaul
Untitled © Christina McFaul
For me this image is such a magical reminder of idealized childhood innocence and wonder. The scale makes the child look even smaller while being dwarfed by the foliage and the out-of-focus background gives a sense of place without being specific as to where. The vignetting and lack of shadow detail very effectively pull me into the scene until I have entered the child's world and get to linger there alongside them if only for a moment. I get a feeling of being lost in time while being transported inward to a place of no time. This is the lyrical power of a photograph, made with skill and love. Thank you, Christina, for allowing me, the viewer to enter this sacred space. ■
