Eleanor Bennett’s photography obscures and focuses. Her photographs offer the viewer little context, but this is what makes them so striking. Bennett offers us the privilege of being able to look at something and appreciate it for its intrinsic characteristics, without having our impression shaped by contextual expectations. That focus, along with intense details, allows the viewer to appreciate the aesthetics of subjects that they might not even be able to readily identify.
