Photography. Essays by Susanna Moore and Geoffrey Biddle. Geoffrey Biddle's photographs of his aunt and uncle, Flora and Sydney Biddle, are startling works that explore love, aging, life and death, the complexities of family ties, and the power of the family unit. "These photographs concern themselves with paradox. There is anarchy in them as well as serenity; they are overwrought and calm, remote and intimate, solemn and comical (the distinction of male/female is subtly absent). There is witchery here, and the omnipresence of spirits"--Susanna Moore.

Geoffrey Biddle worked as a freelance photographer from the mid 1970s to the early 1990s. His work appeared regularly in magazines and newspapers, including Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, The New York Times, Fortune, Forbes, GEO, and Granta. Corporate clients included IBM, MCI, GAF, Citicorp, and General Electric. From 1994 to 2001, Biddle served as Assistant Chair of the Photography Department at Parsons School of Design, in New York City. Since 2001, he has done personal work with his collaborator and wife, Jane Gottesman, and has managed the project Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like? Geoffrey Biddle lives in the San Francisco Bay area.
