Tiziana Rozzo

Things are not as they seem, or even as they appear at first glance. This basic principle is the foundation of the work of photographer Tiziana Rozzo, as she slyly coaxes assumptions and questions from the viewer, through photographic prints that defy explanation. What are we seen? The language is not of abstraction, rather using representations of the mundane, presented in the most mysterious ways. She sees things in the ice, she presses her face against the page, she coaxes poses from her children. These acts are so simple, a search for meaning and connection. Yet when you face the prints themselves, nothing is simple anymore, nothing is as it seems. - Deb Todd Wheeler
