Roberta Thornley is a recent Elam graduate whose photographs are as painterly as they are cinematic. She has an eye for oddness, for the tension between domesticity and nature, and for the obsessive things people do in their anxious search for perfection and happiness. Strangely compelling, and fraught with fear and desire, Thornley's photographs seem to reveal suspended moments in mysterious unresolved narratives.
