Margot Metcalfe
“I love the moment of making a photograph. For me it is a moment of quietness, of presence, of breath.” I photograph and exhibit "found images" that delight my spirit and question awareness. My works invite the viewer to consider what is being seen and to experience the moment of engagement.  Contemplation is essential to the creation of my work, and the images invite contemplation from the viewer.
