san francisco-based photographer liz steketee has a new show opening this week at rayko gallery, thursday december 17th, from 6-8pm. liz’s new work ‘reconstructed memories’ is a unique series of images, utilizing her own family photographs. liz chooses unlikely combinations of family photographs and scans them for use in reconstruction, blending together multiple disparate images so that they conform to her personal memories, or preference for how things might have been. stop in to the rayko gallery for some wine and wonderful art this thursday evening!

here’s what liz shares about her [talking picture]: “this image is of my daughter emma, who has long dreamed of becoming an astronaut. when she was just 3 years old she announced to her father and me that she would soon be going to the moon. she shortly there after requested an astronaut costume and proceeded to wear it for the next year. this image to me is about the thrill of big dreams when you are a child, the belief that you can be anything without restrictions, without parameters. it also serves as a reminder to me to keep my dreams close. to pursue them as diligently as I did when I was a child. it is too easy to let dreams go when life pushes back on us. holding tight is harder than we imagine. I expect that in a few years down the road, I will be a passenger on my daughter’s rocket to the moon.”
