Pinhole Photography

Images made with a Tin Can

For over 30 years, Diane has used pinhole photography as a way to make sense of the world — a quiet, contemplative practice rooted in her passion for Camera Obscura and the handmade image. Her work explores the traces left by past generations, layering history through photograms of antique linen and lace, embossed weed-patterned wallpaper, encaustic wax, and screen-printed textures. In each long exposure — sometimes lasting up to 30 minutes — the stillness of the land emerges, while the blur of life in motion fades, allowing history to breathe through light and time.
