It took a few hours and quite a bit of work but I am pleased to say that my photography exhibit is up! I think it has a nice flow to it and I also included my antique camera collection in the cases.
Then it drifts to the left wall and starts to move into "people" photography. The piece titled "Puppets" starts to get a bit dark in content and it is followed by "Swallowed" which is full of human emotion. This piece was one I created after thinking about how to cross over abstract painting with photography and also include the emotion and power that bold brush strokes can bring. I painted the glass when setting up the shot, took the shot, and then digitally manipulated (painted) it after so it is a 3 part process as well.
As you drift from the "objects" on the back wall, the exhibit turns to "life" and a bright and colorful grouping of four photographs displaying how vibrant nature can be. Next to them is a photo representing how people try to mimic that bright and colorful aspect of life. And the last photograph is what happens when people abandon that attempt- an abandoned farm house that was once painted in bright beautiful colors.
I had a little helper too!
Stop by and see it at the Farmington Hills City Gallery (inside the Costick Center) during business hours (M-F 9-5) and if you can come to the opening reception January 22nd from 6-9, I will personally tell you how much you rock!
