Sylvia Bandyke -Time Masquerading

Description

Artist Statement

Sylvia Bandyke, from Royal Oak, MI, is largely a self-taught photographer, having taken studio and art history classes in college. She began her art career by displaying photo collages in ArtPrize, an independent international art competition in Grand Rapids MI, from 2014 to 2018. Subsequently, she has been juried into
more than 150 group exhibitions in 24 states and accepted into numerous online international exhibitions.
Bandyke relies on the collage format to integrate associated images into a cohesive unit that is even more compelling because of the embedded story. Having been a playwright and technical writer, she is used to delivering content with a message. Now as a visual communicator, she continues to provide meaning via the
structure of the collage format, wherein the four photos confirm, augment or even contradict each other. She enjoys offering the richness provided by the multiplicity of images along with the impact gained through thoughtful positioning of them.
