Janet Russek + David Scheinbaum: Keeping Still Within

Photographers Janet Russek and David Scheinbaum collaborate in life and work.

Photography has been the source of many of their endeavors throughout the more than 40 years they have been together creating a number of books and exhibitions.

As artists, finding subject matter that one can immerse themselves in for years doesn’t come easy. Sometimes it requires world travel and other times looking in one’s own backyard. With the onset of the pandemic, they both found their expression in the quietude of their own environs and created work that is more of an “internal journey”, keeping still while working within.

The isolation, as difficult as it was, allowed them the time to explore and deepen these bodies of work.  These works made almost daily for the past years has been for them a visual metaphor for the passing of time and nourished their artistic expression and spiritual centering.
