Unfortunately these pictures taken with my point-and-click camera do not do justice to Odetta Dangerfield's paintings currently on view at Pratt (my pictures are details of whole paintings). Her images are beautifully rendered scenes or captured moments that have an intimate quality to them. They are at once familiar and mysterious, and, as captured moments they evoke a sense of what isn't being shown-- what happened just before this moment, what happens just after it? I guess what I'm saying is in addition to being lovely images, these painting have narrative weight to them that carries an emotional resonance.
