ON VIEW AT DELUGE CONTEMPORARY ART | MAY 3 - 31, 2024
MONOGRAPH AND RESPONSE BY MADELINE BOGOCH
I’m not sure I know exactly what clouds are is a collection of built photographic images and objects, utilizing the sky and clouds to understand the transient nature of photography. Diamond experiments with historical and contemporary photographic processes, blending them and emphasizing the slippage between them. Cloud formations serve as both subject and metaphor, symbolizing stages of fluidity and grief.
To bend the sky, to fold a cloud, to cut through the horizon.
Cloud stacks and sky tubes.
I looked up at the sky and saw
a lone cumulus cloud
and felt you with me.
