In those first days of loss, before it takes root, the
world is either hazy or acutely detailed. Important things – conversations,
events, preparations – can pass without notice or chance of recollection while
the tilt of a lamp shade or the patterned fabric on a chair will remain clear
forever.
It is
this precision of the grieving mind which photographer Corey Hendrickson
captures so accurately in his Visitation series. The images are of
the simple details that many times are so vivid: a box of tissues on a
table, a hanging suit, mints in a jar. Using warm light to perhaps soften the
loneliness that the photographs invoke, Hendrickson skillfully presents the
isolation and indiscriminate clarity of early loss.
