Talismanic
Photographs
by Andrea Baldeck
The photographs in this book spring from a respect for
the logic and clarity of science and the order and variety
of the natural world and from the photographerís
fascination with the array of line, form, and pattern
that occurs in our daily lives. Talismans are endowed
with magic virtue, charms diverse in their forms, holding
the powers of healing or good fortune or potent magic,
tinged always with a hint of the occult, the mysterious.
Drawn from the everyday world, changed through the alchemy
of photography and they eye of the artist, these images
remind us that sometimes the quotidian is the strangest
of all.
Andrea Baldeck —musician, physician, and photographer—has
had an abiding interest in third world medicine. Her photographs
have been exhibited widely and are part of the permanent
collections of major museums.
