Thank you. Those are very nice. Yet, in comparing the works, I prefer how Loretta's images preserve a current of innocence. I find much contemporary work to be jaded to an extent that diminishes the effect. Today, in the context of abundant cynicism, purity has a unique pitch for me. I sense that Loretta is taking advantage of this, and at the same time, is forcing us to question the temporal context itself. Are these contemporary scenes?
