Artist Statement
Vicki Topaz is a San Francisco-based photographer whose interest in cultural and social history, memory, and the passage of time informs the imagery in her work. Over the past four years she has been working on SILVER: A STATE OF MIND, a series of penetrating portraits and interviews of women who share their experiences about growing older in this society.
In 2009, Topaz’ first monograph, “Silent Nests,” was published by Keher Verlag. It is the first photographic investigation into a little-known niche of France’s rich cultural legacy—the medieval colombiers of Normandy and Brittany. Topaz’s other photographic series include INTERIORS and PASTORALE.
Topaz is a co-founder and board member of PhotoAlliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting photography in the San Francisco Bay Area. For further detail, please visit: www.vickitopaz.com
