Diana Lucas Leavengood

<< >>

Diana Lucas Leavengood is an award winning filmmaker who has translated her cinematic background to the medium of still photography. Trained in the dramatic narrative tradition at CalArts' film school, she uses her images for story telling purposes. Dr. Jennifer Hardin, Chief Curator of the St. Petersburg Museum of Fines Arts observes: Diana's work stands out strongly among work that I have seen in the last few years, and indeed, it is so much more sophisticated in terms of content and subject matter than much I have experienced since moving to Florida.

Working primarily with film and an old-fashioned SLR camera, Diana's signature double exposure represents an exploration of the intense chaos of the common life in today's world. Her juxtaposition of seemingly disparate subject matter reveals the mutual thread woven in the narrative of all of our lives. In keeping with her use of antique cameras, her images are not subject to any post-production manipulation
