Ms. Davenport not only captures/creates images that are indicative of our “visual dialects” and history, but also presents them in an ethereal dreamlike fashion, designed to create visual escapes for the viewer. Her images mainly consist of these visions from our past, places and traditions soon to be extinct from our landscape, and landscapes.
