EVIDENCE is a micro-publishing project that releases radical poetry, visual arts, photography, and also para-essayistic works within the world of avant-garde cinema.
Bretta C. Walker is a creative practitioner utilizing still & motion photography as means of documenting her performance in the role of f e m a l e h u m a n in an intuition-driven & ritual-fueled practice. By harnessing the necromantic qualities of the photographic process to hold communion with self & surrounding – in concept & in form, her work addresses issues of liminality, femininity, & trauma.Walker’s work is that of a deeply personal practice which rotates on an axis of healing while drawing cues from the resilience & sublimity of Nature & its intrinsic relation to the female condition & form. In her melding of alternative & archaic printing methods with her personal research & experimentations in eco-processing, sensitizing, & toning – alchemy, the hand, process, & a sense of locality are always present, driving forces in her work.
