An intimate look at Dawn Surratt’s process, blending analog techniques and mixed media to explore perception, memory, and the complexity of inner experience. Through layered imagery and tactile experimentation, her work bridges past and present, inviting viewers into a space where meaning unfolds gradually and remains open to interpretation.

San Diego-based artist Annie Claflin uses photography to navigate identity, mental health, and memory. In this interview, she discusses her series Undertow, which explores the fragile boundary between land and sea through altered pigment prints and distressed photo-objects. By submerging, warping, and weathering images of the San Diego coast, Claflin evokes the erosion of memory, place, and self in the face of sea level rise.
