PART2 / VISIONMillicent began the tedious process of learning how to
produce beautiful digital prints and sourced out a bookmaker.
The final product, titled Inside/Out, contains thirty-seven stunning
black-and-white images bound in gray Asahi silk that is hand
stitched.
Three months after the inception of the project, the first
copy of Inside/Outwas produced.
In experiencing Inside/Out, the result of Millicent’s vision
quest, we are invited to begin a journey of our own. Her images
are evocative and ask that we, the viewers, get involved. Perhaps
Millicent’s friend and mentor Nubar Alexanian states it best
when he writes in the book’s foreword: “When I look at
Millicent Harvey’s photographs, I often wonder whether it is
my memory that is being engaged or hers. Does the sadness I
feel belong to me or her? Is the delight I see in her children
based on my memories or the result of the narrative in her
photographs?”
When looking at Inside/Outand hearing the response of
others to Millicent’s images, it becomes clear that the woman
who started out on a quest to rediscover her personal vision has
indeed accomplished her goal!Chapter 09.qxd 6/25/07 7:17 AM Page 56
