I noticed that many of my photographs held a suggested story. So I extended the creative process and wrote short fiction for those photographs. Tremors From the Faultline , published in 1989, is drawn from stories related to Kaida friends as they experienced life-changing situations. Kaida avoids using names, referring to subjects simply as he or she. The title alludes to the West and living near fault lines.
Tremors is about our inner and outer fault lines.
At the end of this century, all of us are on shaky ground. Kaida has spent many years experimenting with her art. She sees her work as having evolved from capturing split seconds of time into the creation of collages by arranging several photographs. Every element comes together and, for a second, there's something more than what is literally there.
