Two Birds | KRISTIN FOUQUET

I’ve been familiar with Fouquet’s photography and writing for a while, since an earlier version of the Outsider Writers Collective website, which utilized her black and white, New Orleans inspired/entrenched work as a site theme (the site has since been redesigned).

While most of Fouquet’s photography relies in equal parts on the people and settings of New Orleans, with a oft-nod to the romanticized flapper-era persona she herself portrays, this particular piece, “Two Birds,” disregards setting in favor of rare intimacy. The classy female profile directly opposite the disheveled raven imply more than it literally states.

Perhaps it is Fouquet’s fiction writing which has drawn me to this photo in particular. Her collection, “Twenty Stories,” which I review in more depth at Outsider Writers Collective, is filled with similar character sketches, wherein the implication of relationships is often more important than the literal stories themselves.
