Women's Review of Books, vol 23, Issue 1 Jan/Feb 2006
The duality of Karen Davis' gaze is brought together in her images. Grounded in he documentary tradition; she is a restless explorer of far-reaching subjects. Along with the direct gaze of the realist, we have the vision of one who soaks up emotional depths and seeks out layers of irony. When you scratch the surface of Karen Davis' photographs, layers of meaning are exposed. They tease loose memory, the passage of time, and hidden associations.
