Burping Hearts, part of an installation by Patricia Katchur and Drew Krewer for BeMine: Collaborations between Writers and Artists, curated by Annie Guthrie for University of Arizona's Poetry Center
 

Discarded Tissue
a collaborative installation by
Patricia Katchur & Drew Krewer

 

A stalker, obsessed yet harmless, invisible, collecting and observing the life of his 'object of affection.' A recreation of the protagonist’s desk, a darkly secret world, the valentine shrine that will never be presented to the love of his life, his sole reason for breathing.

Created for the exhibition
BeMine: Collaborations between Writers and Artists at the University of Arizona's Poetry Center.

Upon Awakening, a series of photographs by Patricia Katchur
 

Upon Awakening
     

Ethereal and melancholy interpretations of Sonoran Desert flora and landscape evoke the moment of awakening from a dream state into consciousness. An inquisitive exploration of nature through mood, color and abstraction.

Memory Ephemeral explores the fleeting glimpses and quiet, intimate moments that become our memories, our emotional yearnings, our ephemeral lives.
 
             
 
ReForm, photographic constructions by Patricia Katchur
 

ReFORM
 
 

Assemblages of curious little worlds made with discarded objects, cheap lenses, hair and photographs. Voyeuristic. Dreamy. Otherworldly.

Tucson, New York City and Back
 
lincoln, MLK & Menorah
 

This small selection of photographs offers subtle sketches of two urban worlds, each with its own distinct flavor, both of which I have lived for extended periods. Opposing senses of time and place.

Arizona - here there then now
     

1998 - 2007. I photographed this series while was living in New York City yet visiting Arizona frequently. Roadtrips, backroads, forgotten towns. An Arizona of yore frozen in time.
