From the series "Not In Your Face" a typology based on the American t-shirt culture.
When George Harrison arrived in New York for the Beatles' historic visit he carried a Pentax Spotmatic as he descended the airplane steps. Susan Barnett, then 13 years old, soon bought the same camera and began photographing her everyday life.
After a formal education in Art History and a 30-year career in New York galleries, Susan again picked up the camera - this time her fatherâ??s Leicaflex. Photography has allowed her to blend her love of strong graphics and color with her interest in the human experience.
Susanâ??s work has been published in Popular Photography, LensCulture, PDN, Nerve.com and Lenscratch. Her work can be seen at Clampart Gallery, New York. The book "Not In Your Face" will be published by the Silas Finch Foundation, New York in 2011.
