Museum of Art, chose David Bookbinder and Laurie Lambrecht out
of 55 photographers who were accepted to the 14th Juried Exhibition
to be featured in the Atelier Gallery of the Griffin Museum of
Photography for a two-person exhibition.
Bookbinder creates mandalas from flowers that he photographs
and digitally manipulates. Lambrecht photographs trees on the
edge of Lake Zurich in Switzerland.
Both photographers discuss the psychological nature of their
bodies of work. Lambrecht says of her photographs of trees that
she considers them as being a landscape in her mind as much as
of an actual place.
"The images hold some of my emotional experience of the
trees rather than merely a physical description of them," says
Lambrecht.
Bookbinder, a photographer and psychotherapist, references Carl
Jung, one of the fathers of modern psychology, when discussing
his Flower Mandalas project.
"Jung believed mandalas are a pathway to the essential Self
and used them in his own personal transformation," says
Bookbinder. "In a small way, as both mandala artist and
psychotherapist, I carry on Jung's tradition.
David Bookbinder will give a members-only tour of his exhibiton
at 6:15 p.m. on June 5. Please RSVP
An opening reception for Flower Mandalas and Lake Trees, which
Bookbinder and Lambrecht will attend, is June 5, 7-8:30 p.m.
It is open to all. Please RSVP |
