 photography into two categories, she calls them “taken photographs” and 
 “made photographs.” The photographs “taken” happen out in the 
 world. Something catches her attention, a wall in Viet Nam showing the 
 passage of time, by layers of peeling paint. The frayed collar on a shirt, 
 worn by a man, on a bus in Chiapas. They are like gifts for the taking, she 
 makes the exposure and thanks the universe.\n\nHer photographs “mad e“ 
 happen at home. They are more demanding. She sets up tableaus, arranges and 
 rearranges, controls the light, the smallest detail. These images usually 
 start with an object, a doll’s head, a plant or perhaps a fragment of 
 bone. She creates an environment that forms a relationship or a 
 juxtaposition to the object – like gathering words for a poem.\n\nWhat 
 “taken and made” have in common, both start in “The Space Between” 
 the space between reality and imagining. The man on the bus, is he going to 
 visit a sick friend? The foxgloves weren’t used as hats, for finger 
 puppets, in childhood? Hedi’s hope is that the images carry the viewer 
 into his or her own space between.\n\nIn her review of Desuyo’s work for 
 FOCUS, a Newsletter of the Pacific Center for the Photographic Arts, Lois 
 Brown stated the following. “Alfred Stieglitz pioneered a vision that 
 made way for photographic images of the natural world to suggest a sublime 
 world beyond the physical realm. It is within this tradition of fine art 
 photography that Hedi Desuyo’s work exposes us to images that, while 
 roote din sicence and history, point to the ineffable world of the 
 imagination.” Desuyo has been a photographer for over fifty years. 
 Originally from Germany, she has lived in Benicia since 1980.\n\nArts 
 Benicia Presents is a series of rotating exhibitions hosted by several 
 venues throughout Benicia, and is an adjunct program of Arts 
 Benicia.\n\nArts Benicia, a non-profit visual arts organization, gallery 
 and arts education center, is located at 991 Tyler St., #114 in Benicia’s 
 historic Arsenal district. For more information regarding this exhibit and
