Regina is delighted by the opportunity to work with Jasmine Madiou on the exhibition at Monument Sotheby’s International Realty.

The photographs on view are part of her series, Dreamer’s House.

This work was made at home and abroad and continued at the Bogliasco Foundation outside Genoa, Italy. The villa and environs that house the Foundation were not only an inspiration but became her dominant subject. The idea of refuge and the work of Dreamer’s House continued during the artist residency at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, NY.

As a photographer, Regina’s work is formal in approach and originates from a place of curiosity and discovery. Utilizing film and a large-format 8×10 view camera, she moves slowly and interprets her surroundings at a pace in opposition to our culture’s spinning clock. As an artist, she leans toward what is unknown in order to create space for direct experience.

The interpretation of home and the mystery of a photograph can describe a sentience, the passage of time, and a universal sense of what each of us craves. In this time of tumult and disorientation, her work looks to an essential foundation—a core experience that amplifies what we all share. Mundane, elegant, or in disarray, the metaphor of home provides a singular order.

Dreamer’s House explores the visual anomalies of the contemporary moment through found stillness and interior space. It is an exploration of the richness of metaphor—how our narrative and the literal material of our lives coalesce into a life.
