In the Blink of an Eye by Michelle Ricci-Koch

I am a storyteller; my curiosity leads me to ask a lot of questions. My parents
mistakenly took it as sass but my lively imagination genuinely needed to connect the dots. I found that connection when I picked up the camera and immersed myself in an art community. An artistic journey spanning decades, my passion for photography ignited in the late 80’s with the discovery of the wet darkroom. Witnessing the evolution from film to digital, I’ve embraced the ever-changing landscape of technology while preserving the timeless essence of capturing moments.

My current exhibition showcases a delicate dance between the past and present. Through the lens of film, I capture the essence of florals, weaving in digital processes to enhance their innate beauty. My portraits embody the newer technology but are created with genuine human connection on a personal level.

Growth, life, erosion and age are all beautiful when viewed as a moment that will never be the same. Time never stops, we never get that minute back. An event, a portrait and the changing landscape can only be captured that second, whether it be seen with our eyes, or captured with a camera. As we age our mind may not be the keeper of memories anymore, but a photograph! A photograph lives on from generation to generation revealing history, memories and emotion.

Join me on this visual odyssey, where each photograph not only tells a story but
also invites you to join in the celebration of my life’s connections.
