Artist Statement

Simone Olanski

I am exploring three main areas of liminal space in my photography. Natural places of transition like beaches, forest paths, and rivers. Human made places like waiting rooms, doorways, and staircases. People that come and go from my life or people that I know will only be in my life for certain periods of time.

Liminal Spaces are places of transition and change, in literature they pop up as wardrobes, portals, and rabbit holes where protagonists are subject to a sudden change that will affect their lives and change them forever. In my photography I explore my part in the liminal spaces I occupy, the transitional places in my everyday life.
