Arts and Culture for the Underemployed Body Parts, Anatomical Creations Both Graphic and Subtle at Space Gallery Curated by Christina, Jo Marzen, and Ray Morrone reviewed by Rachel S Rosen edited by Cordelia Chadwick " Luck struck twice that night, as I got to meet Genea Barnes (Geneabarnes.com), an up and coming Bay Area photographer. Using traditional methods, such as one sheet of live film scanned to print to create her triple exposed photographs, Barnes participated in her first show with Space Gallery that night. Artwork SF (49 Geary Street) usually represents her work, and she recently took part in the group show Skin Deep. Barnes has been actively exhibiting her work in the Bay Area since 2001, and was pleased to find another quality venue to display her photographs. Genea Barnes' work is quite intricate; while her subject matter remains figurative, the narrative of her pieces are as abstract and intense as a lucid dream. Barnes remarked, "I have a pretty definite idea about what the piece is going to look like in my mind, but by the time I layer the third exposure onto the image, I step back and realize that the work has taken on a life of its own." Barnes' art is some of the most mature and professional I saw at both Space Gallery and Artwork SF; she treats the figure in a unique and subtle way that captivates the viewer and sets her work apart from the average."
