Catalog For An Imaginary Retrospective Exhibition

by Carol Chase Bjerke

 

Carol Chase Bjerke, a visual artist, lived her formative years in New Hampshire before living in Michigan and Wisconsin. Her work was anchored in film photography and darkroom techniques, A love of mountains and rocks and walls was manifest in her photography and hand-made books. She loved experimenting with dark room processes and made unique limnographs and limnoprints, terms she coined. As the ravages of cancer progressed, Carol assembled samples of her life-long work in this retrospective that was never exhibited in a gallery. Carol passed away in October 2022.
