"Grace is a series of photographs created by Scott Offen over the past four years of his wife, Grace. The impetus of this body of work has been the attempt to better understand one person through close observation. What makes this possible is the confidence that comes from long association, in their case, thirty nine years. Intimacy and trust are roads both travel. Each partner is vulnerable behind and in front of the camera. Each portrait reveals not only the sitter’s and the maker’s intent, but also uncontrolled moments of self disclosure. They work together. They ask questions about emotions, relationships, and their visual depiction. The images explore solitude, the difficulty of knowing another or oneself, love for a partner of many years, aging, and the mystery of these things. Together, they are always focused on making beautiful images.”

Scott Offen was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1960. He is currently pursuing an MFA in Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. His work has been shown most recently at Aviary Gallery in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts and at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts where he has work in their collection.
