This event is free and open to the public.

About the exhibition: 

“Photography has always been a powerful medium for evoking an emotional response in the viewer –
whether awe, revulsion, sadness, or joy. By framing the context and using light, shadow, focus and
depth of field and visual imagination, the viewer is invited into the world of the artist. The juxtaposition
of shapes and lines, the use or absence of color, the dimensionality of a piece, all contribute to creating
a moment that can resonate deep within the viewer’s psyche. There is alchemy in both the creation of
imagery and in the intimate engagement with a stranger who now views the work. No more
interpretation is required; simply stop, notice and engage in self-inquiry. Like a modern-day Rorschach,
each of the nine bodies of work begins a conversation of meaning between artist and viewer. As you
transit this hallway, pause for a moment to enjoy that brief exchange and take it with you into your day.” – Vicky Stromee
