INSPIRING, ENGAGING, EDUCATING AND PROMOTING THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Edge of the North Sea
A solo exhibition by Jennifer Modigliani
March 7 - 31, 2019
Opening: Thursday, March 7, 6-8pm
Artist talk: Sunday, March 17, 2pm
Open to the public • Free to attend
The Shetlands are over a 100 islands (16 inhabited) off the north east coast of Scotland on the northern edge of the North Sea. Half way to Norway and the Faroe Islands they have a climate mediated by theGulf Stream, endless never ending wind, and not a single tree. (although there are now newly planted trees in gardens.)
These images will give the viewer a sense of the “edginess” and solitude of living life past and present in this place.
UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
PROGRAMMING
FEATURES
The show will feature Steve’s favorite images from his last three books – Cloud Busting, Obscuro and Aerial. For ten years these three projects have involved the development of techniques and processes that go far beyond what would be considered normal. Where most people end with the creation of an image is usually where Steve begins and many have made the observation that the dedication and commitment of not only the artist but also the subjects for these projects can only be described as “bat shit crazy”.
The Captive Rain Forest
A member exhibition by Ford Doolittle
May 2019
In March I attended a meeting held in Biosphere 2, Arizona. Now the site is a research facility and tourist destination, and its rain forest biome looks very much like it is trying to escape from the enclosing glass. I took many pictures of leaves desperately plastered against the windows and will show some of them.

Tiny Planets by Sophie Slamp, USA
Artist's Biography
Sophie Slamp is from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Over the past four years, she has studied Photography at Northern Michigan University. Her photographic interest includes landscapes, food, portraits and anything that strikes her imagination.
Artist's Statement
While traveling I have been inspired to photograph panoramas from which I created this image titled Tiny Planets. Being influenced by the work of Rudy Malmquist, his approach encouraged me to try a new technique. Captured with my Canon 60D, 17mm lens I was able to warp the original panorama into a planet like Earth through Adobe Photoshop. It allows the viewer to visualize landscape photography from a different point of view. In the future, Tiny Planets will be a continuing series, showcasing the different locations I have traveled.
