"For her [Liz Steketee], a photograph is not simply "taken," but it is built, crafted, compiled, often from many individual shots and multiple vantage points. Far from reproducing the truth, she questions its objective possibility, drawing upon the stuff of her everyday life to not merely tell a story but also to negotiate for herself what the story is, what it means, what it might mean tomorrow or what it may have meant a generation ago. Truth for Liz is subjective, personal, and never final. The exhibition includes works from several series, all inspired by her life and her family." (Daniel Strong).
