‘Another Way Of Seeing’ At RICPA
Providence Daily Dose, July 23, 2022 by Beth Comery
Photographer Terry Frishman sees faces everywhere, but reassures us, “This ability is not a symptom of psychosis!” In fact, this phenomenon has a name — pareidolia (par-i-DOH-lee-a), Greek for “false images” — and helps provide a way into her enigmatic images, now on display… at the Rhode Island Center for the Photographic Arts (RICPA), now through August 13.
My Pareidolia Art reveals imaginary people, birds, otherworldly landscapes, fantastical creatures, kissers, dancers and more — that appear like paintings before me on tree trunks and street curbs.
If you have seen a man in the moon, or…a Rorschach test…, then you have experienced pareidolia.
There is a lot to like in this exhibition which features five pieces each from photographers Pierre Hauser, Lawrence Manning, Rustam Tahir, Cindy Weisbart, and Cindy Wilson, as well as Frishman, who was on hand yesterday to walk me through her grouping, “Found Profiles.” The following are her comments, edited for clarity. She describes this work as
. . . metaphors for the overlooked and an awakening of the imagination, and seeing what we often walk past and step on, in a new way, with appreciation. . . . There’s a universality about seeing faces . . . my work has a lot that goes beyond faces, that includes landscapes and conversations . . . this piece “Separated Souls” [my favorite] was created by melted snow on the ground. My work is intended as a way to provide another way of seeing.
Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts — 118 North Main Street, Providence, RI. Follow RICPA on IG.
Gallery hours: Thursday – Saturdays, noon to 6pm/third Thursdays, 5pm – 8pm. And by appointment.
Four Art Events You Should Not Miss In September ... Pareidolia: Hidden in Plain Sight (link here)

Hilliard Gallery Fine Art — 1820 McGee Kansas City, MO
…
As an extended part of the What Is Beautiful: The Aesthetic of Pleasing the Mind show at the Hilliard Gallery, Renaissance woman Terry Frishman brings her pareidolia photography, showing viewers what they see, but don’t see in the urban everyday. “Pareidolia art captures patterns that may reveal faces, stories, and other meaningful imagery out of the random or abstract,” says Frishman.
Each photo is a microcosm in the macrocosm, a whisper of the celestial on earth, and in the most unlikely places. A pothole. A reflection. A puddle.
“I see the ethereal in the everyday,” she says. For every fine-art photograph, she lists the elements that have gone into the abstract pattern she captures, such as Street Paint, Coffee Stains, Leaf, Asphalt, Sealant, Granite, Cement.
Frishman completes the equation, with her artistic eye and photographic process.
