Unfettered Show

Visual Art Exchange

I submitted two pieces of artwork for the “Unfettered” exhibition at the Visual Art Exchange, in Downtown Raleigh, April 6-24. The one that was accepted was my Acorn Attic Antiques photo (left), taken in Wilmington.

When I saw the dolphin, I was reminded of William Eggleston’s tricycle image. It took me a long time to learn to appreciate his work because it is so stark and dispassionate. So it is a bit ironic that my first-ever photo accepted into a significantly competitive show was inspired by Eggleston, and is not very indicative of the majority of my work.

At right, is the other photo I submitted, but was not chosen. I took it on the Brighton Beach Pier in England at sundown. I thought that this picture was a bit quirkier and would get in the show before the other one, but I have since learned that it is not always easy to predict what will capture a juror’s attention.

First Fridays, Raleigh NC

From 2008-2009 I was in two different studios in the Carter Building and was open for most First Friday art walks before I decided to design, build and move to a home studio. However, I am still very much a part of the Carter Building community and now manage the Carter Building Website.

Breaking Free, Linoleum Cut Print, Edition of 20, $50 unframed. Breaking free was inspired by Picasso and the German Expressionists and was selected for inclusion in the Emulous Exhibition at the Visual Art Exchange, in Raleigh.

Exhibition details:

Emulous (desirous of equaling or excelling)
June 6-27, 2008
First Friday Reception: June 6, 6-9pm
This exhibition will be filled with the work of famous artists – recreated by local artists. A tradition in formal art training, reproducing the work of masters is a great way to learn their technique. Artists can mimic an existing work or create original work in the style of their favorite master artist.
