That's Odd

November 10, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

Ever see anything that made you take a second look and think "that's odd"? Well the upcoming exhibition at the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont, curated by Oliver Wasow examines that theme in depth. Oliver is a fine art photographer and collector of found photography oddities currently living and working in Rhinebeck, NY.

The exhibition runs from November 12th through December 6th 2015.

I'm very lucky to have TWO of my images "Outer Peace", and "Rainbow Over San Jose Airport" selected for the show. Both images will be on display in the gallery:

DIRECTIONS

Gray Loft Gallery is very pleased to present NATURE (re)DEFINED, a group show of photography inspired by nature. The photographs in the exhibit offer a wide range of styles, including alternative processes, as well as classic nature photography of landscapes and plant life as they are found in their natural environment.  Traditional black and white images, color photography and mixed media works will be on view by a group of exceptional photographers.

About the Gray Loft Gallery

Gray Loft Gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, SF Chronicle, in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining prominence in the Bay Area…”   The mission of the gallery is to provide exhibition opportunities for artists in a setting that is an alternative to the traditional gallery model. We hope to inspire, engage and celebrate artists in our community and beyond.  We acknowledge the achievements of emerging, mid-career and established artists – with an emphasis on those who live and work in the Bay Area, in a non-traditional art space.

Iconography Catalog Available.

For more information and pictures of the project "Fishing For Iconography", check out the catalog available today through Blurb Books.

As I blogged earlier, this is the large format wheat pasting project that involved posting "iconic" images (including one of mine), around the Texas town of Johnson City.

The catalog contains all the images involved as well as pictures of the event and the story behind it.

You can see the full book online by clicking on the image, and even buy a copy if you like it that much!
