About WEATHERBURY FARM

Growing up in a small town in Texas, I dreamed of living on a farm, surrounded by animals and fields. Many decades and changes later, I discovered that my fantasy farm was real and was just up the road from my home in the western suburbs of Boston. When I saw the rolling fields, the weathered red barns and all the chickens, pigs, cows and llamas, I was very excited and eager to capture their images.

Visiting the farm many times led to strong attachments with the animals, and I have spent many happy hours in their company. I concentrated on fine details often missed or dismissed. I found beauty in dirty faces, drooling lips and upturned snouts. My goal was to capture their unique personalities and human-like qualities—their curiosity, their sense of humor, their wish for affection, and their irrepressible appetites. The five years I have spent observing and interacting with these subjects have enriched my understanding of farm animals and heightened my awareness of the cruelty with which they are treated by the food industry. My goal for the future is that sharing these portraits with the world will lead to more respect for farm animals as intelligent, sentient beings and lead to more humane treatment of these beautiful creatures.

About Judy Brown –

Judy Brown follows a career as Professor of Physics at Wellesley College and Research Scientist at the MIT Media Lab by combining her long-time passions for animals and photography. She is particularly attracted to animal subjects – fur, hair, and feathers -for their subtle textures (often hidden from the naked eye) and for their beauty of form. She loves spending time with farm animals, getting to know their individual behavioral quirks. Her “Elliott” portfolio of a spirited pony in his stall has been given a number of solo shows including two in Griffin Museum of Photography satellite galleries and an MIT Architecture Department Tele-exhibit. Several images from the portfolio “Far from the Madding Crowd” were shown in a two person show at the Griffin Museum Satellite gallery, SOWA, Boston in the spring of 2017. Selections from her “Antique Skin”, “Elliott”, “Weatherbury Farm” portfolios and others have been selected for over two dozen juried exhibitions including by Texas Photographic Society, Photoplace, Newburyport Art Association, SE Center for Photography, A Smith Gallery, and others . She is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a 2019 Critical Mass 200 Finalist.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
