The Seats Mitchell Burton is an Artist in Residence at SPAO for 2012-2013 SPAO is pleased to present an exhibition of recent work by Burton called The Seats. The Seats is a study of spaces that have been designed to welcome public attendance at a public event. This series considers spaces that host happenings of any kind: cinema, theatre, political discourse, and sometimes a mixture of these and more. These performative spaces shape our cultural, social and political lives. Burton's photographs look at the infrastructure - the bricks and mortar - that forms the foundation of these features of our public culture: the seats. The Seats invite our attendance and are the points around which public events unfold. Taken from the perspective of the event, these images invite us to consider our place in cultural and social events. The Seats opens at the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa's Redwall Gallery with a vernissage on Friday March 1, 6-9 pm. For more information, please call us at 613-562-3824.

Artist in Residence Nicholas Wojtas is an Artist in Residence at SPAO for 2012-2013 SPAO is pleased to present Nicholas Adam Wojtas' series, Triptych: Identity, at our Redwall Gallery, from February 15 to February 27. Triptych explores issues of identity, places of memory, and tranquility. Nick aims to create visual works that evoke feelings and sentiments to which all viewers may relate. These works emerged from Nick's exploration of feelings of anxiety and confidence, positivity and negativity, acceptance, and memory. Rather than referring to specific events or physical traces, Nick has tried to create a visual impression that can be communicated to a wide public. Working between landscape triptychs and single images, Identity invites viewers to contemplate their own experiences through the visual field of photography. An alumni of the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa's Portfolio Courses, Nick Wojtas has continued to use photography as a mode of exploring issues of identity and belonging. While Nick's work is strongly personal and intimate, his hope is that his photography will evoke a similar sense of exploration in those who view his work. Back to Top |

Havana Street: The Workshop Prints Vernissage Friday February 1, 6-9 pm. The School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa (SPAO) is pleased to present Havana Street: The Workshop Prints. Havana Street is a selection of photographs produced overseveral years by students of David Barbour's annual photographic workshops in Cuba. Following a term at the Banff School of Fine Arts David Barbour pursued a balance of professional assignments, editorial work, personal projects, and curating and teaching positions. A working photographer and printer for close to forty years, Barbour has received a World Press Award, has worked overseas for various agencies, and has been featured by the Magenta Foundation and Canadian Geographic, among others. SPAO recently featured a series of Barbour's Ottawa landscape panoramas, and the City of Ottawa will be presenting David's landscapes in a solo exhibition in 2013. David has an intimate and long-standing interest in Cuba. In 2000 he received a prestigious mid-career grant from the Canada Council for the Arts to pursue his photographic work in Havana. As Instructor at the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa David has taught photographic workshops in Cuba since 2005. Working in small groups in locales David has come to know through years of experience and personal networking, students move beyond the photographic assignment to photographic exploration. Indeed, Barbour's instruction encourages and facilitates a form of portraiture, and students return to Ottawa with their own intimate views of this dynamic city. Havana Street is a selection of views and impressions produced through David Barbour's Cuba Workshops. Havana Street opens with a vernissage Friday February 1, 2013, 18:00-21:00 at the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa's Redwall Gallery.

David Barbour Locus: Recent Silver Prints VERNISSAGE FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2012, 6-9PM ON VIEW November 16 to December 20, 2012 In 2002 David Barbour set out into cold Ottawa winter nights with the objective of transforming the familiar urban setting of his home city into an evocative landscape photograph. He chose to work with a 4x5 field camera and 6x12 roll film back in order to produce panoramic urban landscapes. "Making photographs with a 4x5 on a cold winter night is slow", Barbour says. "On most nights only one or two images are made before the equipment begins to freeze. Most exposures range from 1-3 minutes in length." More recently David used a Linhof 612 panorama camera which is more comfortable to use as he pursues his night-time survey. David uses Tri X film and produces fiber prints on Ilford Warm Tone paper. LOCUS is a study of the ideas of home, memory, and landscape, and includes photographs of locations from across the country. In LOCUS Barbour hopes to share the quiet of the photographic moment and the beauty that can be found in the everyday when one chooses to look for it. Highlights to David's career include a World Press Award and a Mid-Career Canada Council Grant in 1999 to continue his work in Havana. He has balanced personal projects and freelance contracts throughout his career, and he continues to explore life on the street. Barbour teaches regularly at SPAO. The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.Find us on Facebook at: http://on.fb.me/dQdnwN SPAO hours are from Monday to Friday 10:00 -18:00, and Saturdays from 10:00- 15:00.

Weather Report Photographs by Andrzej Maciejewski In conjunction with Festival X Vernissage Friday September 21, 2012, 6-9pm On View September 21 to October 20, 2012 Weather Report features 36 photographs of the same place. Andrzej Maciejewski made several photographs over the period of one year, near the little hamlet of Moscow, in Eastern Ontario. The photographs were captured in a 6 ft x 6ft x 10ft walk-in room - a camera obscura - that Maciejewski built specifically for this project. The artist captured the light transferred through an aperture installed on the roof with a 4x5 lens, on 8x10 colour transparencies. The result is a series of 24 x 30 prints that record temporal and seasonal changes from a fixed vantage point. Maciejewski's work is touring internationally, and is collected in the McCord Museum of Canadian History, the National Gallery of Canada, and in many private collections. Weather Report makes a stop in at SPAO as part of Ottawa's Festival X. Maciejewski's work can be seen online at klotzekstudio.com The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.SPAO hours are from Monday to Friday 10:00 -18:00, and Saturdays from 10:00- 15:00.

i said house not home Artist Greg Zenha Vernissage Friday June 8th, 18:00 - 21:00 On View June 8th - August 5th, 2012 Mon - Fri 10:00-18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 Artist's Talk Saturday, June 16th, 2pm i said house not home is a collection of photographic images by Greg Zenha and two films by Zenha in collaboration with Jeremy Shantz. Greg Zenha is a photo-based artist working primarily with large format cameras, bridging traditional as well digital printmaking practice. His work investigates conceptual realism through the lens of personal experience. In this work Zenha explores the emotional space inhabited by a man trapped in the wake of past events. The series stresses the effect without representing the cause. Humility, humiliation, self-punishment, and endless self-analysis intersect and conspire against the experience of the present. i said house not home is grounded by a letter, but the person who may have written, or received it is not important. What remains is an ineffable emotional atmosphere, a guest that cannot be asked to leave. Press Release for i said house not home 
CALL AND RESPONSEi said house not home is the seventh instance of the Red Wall Gallery's year-long Call and Response project. rob mclennan's collection of poems entitled 'i said house not home', responds to Zenha's works.

13-18 Artist Olivia Johnston Vernissage Friday, March 16th, 2012, 18:00 - 21:00 On View March 16th - April 2nd, 2012 Mon - Fri 10:00 - 18:00, Sat 10:00 - 15:00 13 - 18, a series of photographs by Olivia Johnston, is a unique and penetrating look into the world of teenaged boys. This is the second exhibition of the 2012 Solo Series in the Red Wall Gallery. Johnston uses studio portraiture as a way to explore societal, gender, and developmental issues. Her second year at SPAO involved an in-depth project photographing and interviewing women who had survived eating disorders. This series juxtaposed beautiful images of strong women with stories of their harrowing experiences. Her portraits pose questions for the viewer, the subject, and the photographer herself. Her continuing and keen curiosity about unexamined segments of human society has led her to photograph teenaged boys and their bedrooms, exploring the question, "when and where are boys permitted to be vulnerable?" "Boys have always been a mystery to me, a different species entirely," says Johnston. "I will never understand men the way I fundamentally understand women. This creates a kind of curiosity that lends itself to photography." Johnston's style of portraiture allows for a transparency through which her subjects' essence is easily realized. With this new series, Johnston has created "photographs [that] are representations of vulnerability in every sense", but also incorporate an undercurrent of tension and sexuality. These intimate and delicate portraits, paired with poetic yet honest views of the subjects' bedrooms, leave us better informed but still questioning the nature of boys. Press Release for 13-18
CALL AND RESPONSE13 - 18 is the sixth instance of the Red Wall Gallery's year-long Call and Response project. Claudia Coutu Radmore's collection of poems entitled What year is it / Qui annus est, respondes to Johnston's works.

By Hand Artist Caroline Tallmadge Vernissage Friday February 17th, 2012, 18:00 - 21:00 On View February 17th - March 12th, 2012 Mon - Fri 10:00 -18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 By Hand, a series of photographs by Caroline Tallmadge, is a study in macro photography of the stunning miniature world of the objects of the trades. This is the first exhibition of the 2012 Solo Series in the Red Wall Gallery. The intersection of people with cultures has always fascinated Tallmadge. A project documenting Mexican migrant farm workers emerged from her first year at SPAO, while her second year involved a more prolonged photographic study of the Amish culture of northern New York State. These explorations have led Tallmadge to her most recent series: photographing materials, tools, and hand made objects at close range to explore the relationship that a manual worker has with his or her materials and tools. "Using a bellows on a medium format camera, I photographed materials, tools and handmade products at very close range. I discovered the texture of brown paper as it is used to make patterns in a dressmaker's studio. I saw the beautiful complexity of the inner workings of mechanical clocks in the jewelry and clock repair shop. I grew able to identify the grades of coarseness of Russian horsehair used in making bows for stringed instruments. I captured the visual, viscous glory of glue as it is used by a bookbinder." With her use of macro photography, Tallmadge creates extraordinary images of ordinary objects; from the dressmaker's pins to the miniature gears of a clock repair shop, these images create an intimate and unexpected portrait of the everyday objects of the manual worker.

Study of Structure and Form Artist Pedro Isztin Vernissage Friday January 13th, 2012, 18:00 - 21:00 On View January 13th - February 6th, 2012 Mon - Fri 10:00 -18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 The collection of Pedro Isztin's photographs that make up Study of Structure and Form explore shape in the natural world, and the influence of humankind on its configurations. Isztin has chosen subjects from around the globe that represent a wide range of environments. Starting in the Arctic at Lake Talvatis, Sweden, his diverse series also contains images from quarries in Quebec, Canada, and the coast of Spain. Isztin believes that "Both our nature and the spirit of the natural world is revealed by form". This series of images is both contemplative and intimate in its approach to the land. The works contain carefully balanced combinations of elements that come together to create serene portraits of place. "Whether natural or man-made," says Isztin, "I am fascinated with order in my environment, seeking places of contemplation in the world around me. In photographing these unique places, I discovered that it is through attentive and patient study of shape, design, and structure that the spirit of our natural world and its inhabitants is revealed." Pedro's work has been exhibited internationally and featured in photography magazines. A world traveller with roots in two separate continents, Pedro's photographs reflect the richness of both his experiences and his diverse heritage. Press Release for Study of Structure and Form

The Farm Family Project Artist Rob Macinnis Artist's Talk Friday Nov. 25th, 19:00 Vernissage Friday, Nov. 18th, 18:00 - 21:00 On View Nov. 18th, 2011 - Dec. 17th Mon - Fri 10:00 -18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 Artist's Talk Friday Nov. 25th, 19:00 In The Farm Family Project, photo-based artist Rob Macinnis employs animals as portrait subjects in what began as an examination of fashion photography and the balance of power between humans and animals. The faces of sheep, pigs, and other barnyard beasts gaze out from his large colour prints created in a variety of formats over a five-year period. They appear by turns sentient, expressive and humbled, inciting a host of reactions in the viewer including compassion and empathy that cross the species barrier. From its beginnings, drawing parallels between the consumption of animals and the fashion world's consumption of the body, The Farm Family Project has evolved into a broader critique of photography's role in society that finds expression through the use of many different photographic genres. Currently a resident of Providence Rhode Island, Macinnis has received numerous grants, awards and honours, and has published and shown work internationally. He will be present in the Red Wall Gallery for an artist's talk Friday November 25th, 2011, 19:00. Press Release for Farm Family Project

Moment(o) Mexico at a glance (un vistazo) Artist John Hewett Hallum Vernissage Friday, September 23rd, 2011, 18:00 - 21:00 On View September 23rd, 2011 to October 29th, 2011 Daily Hours Mon - Fri 10:00 -18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 Photographer John Hewett Hallum catches a peripheral view of the Mexican paysage. Having lived in Mexico for many years and returning to Ottawa in 2008, Hewett Hallum travels often to Mexico to revisit friends and cities and explore new places. He has created several bodies of work depicting the culture, people and daily life of this vibrant country. The colourful sometimes abstract images that make up Moment(o) are a departure for the artist. Hewett Hallum has abandoned precise documentation to convey his feelings about passing through this landscape he loves. His approach to these fleeting glances of Oaxaca, Querétaro, and Puebla is impressionist. His depictions of the landscape are in the moment, showing shifting light effects and including movement and odd visual angles. The exhibition's title Moment(o), (which in Spanish means a very brief period of time), describes the essence of its photographs. They are brief moments captured during many hours of travel and depicting time and glances at what 'passes by' or perhaps more accurately, what we pass by. Press Release for Moment(o)

Cities of Stone - People of Dust Artist Leslie Hossack Vernissage Friday August 5th, 2011, 18:00 - 21:00 On View August 5th - September 2nd, 2011 Daily Hours Mon - Fri 10:00 - 18:00, Sat 10:00 - 15:00 Photographer Leslie Hossack explores three iconic cities and three interrelated themes in this collection of images of Berlin, Jerusalem and Masada. Having completed photographic studies of urban change and continuity in Paris in 2009, and National Socialist architecture in Berlin in 2010, Hossack felt compelled to travel to Israel in May 2011. Her photographic study of Nazi architecture in Berlin was a springboard to the current body of work, which looks at life today in Israel's charged landscape. Historically, both Berlin and Jerusalem have been referred to as "cities of stone" and Hossack's scope also encompasses a third city of stone, the ancient hilltop fortress of Masada. Through the works in Cities of Stone - People of Dust she considers the architecture of memory and commemoration, the theme of loss, longing and lamentation, and the question of inclusion and exclusion. "...I do hope that Cities of Stone - People of Dust will raise awareness and pose questions. The question that kept running through my mind as I explored historic Berlin and modern Israel was: At what cost?" At the 2010 X Ottawa Photography Festival, the Portfolio Review jury, unanimously selected Leslie Hossack to be awarded an exhibition in the Red Wall Gallery.

Fish Permutations Artist Joseph Jeremie Roy Vernissage Friday June 10th, 2011, 18:00 - 21:00 On View June 10th - July 23rd, 2011 Daily Hours Mon - Fri 10:00 - 18:00, Sat 10:0 - 15:00 Photo-based artist Joseph Jeremie Roy continues his exploration of memory, memento mori, and the narrative possibilities of the constructed image in this new collection of unique photographic objects. The works in Fish Permutations tell stories, make political statements, elicit questions, suggest answers, and just as often, invite smiles of ridicule and doubt. The fish is the recurrent motif threading its way through the collection of platinum and palladium and gelatin silver contact prints. Roy's works express the themes of resurrection and mortality from the twin perspectives of content and production, while their size from ultra large to extra small shows the artist's struggle with the implications of scale and presentation in contemporary photographic practice. Roy has evolved his modus operandi to include input on every part of the photographic process from production to presentation. He has used only light and chemical photographic processes to capture and produce images with large format film, ultra large paper negatives, and handmade ultra large format glass plate negatives. Some of the first images from the Mola, an ultra large format camera hand-built by the artist, are included in this exhibition. The collected images being shown have been arranged and rearranged, interpreted and reinterpreted into permutations that have grown exponentially with their numbers. While the principle elements of the set have remained consistent it is their order that give them meaning. Artist's Talk and Demonstration June 24th, 2011, 19:00 Press Release for Fish Permutations The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.

See Yourself When All is New Artist Michelle Wilson Vernissage Friday March 11th, 2011, 18:00 - 21:00 On View March 11th - April 9th, 2011 Daily Hours Mon - Fri 10:00 - 18:00, Sat 10:00 - 15:00 *Artist will be present via Skype Traveling photo-based artist Michelle Wilson explores personal narratives through images found abroad in this collection of new works sent from Taiwan. See Yourself When All is New is a mix of large iconic images of often-unseen monuments, deceptively pastoral seeming landscapes and intimately scaled diptychs that tell a quieter more personal parallel narrative. All of these elements come together in an intersection of historical, personal and public stories. Wilson, has to this point, been a compulsive constructor of every element of her images. Traveling has made it imperative for her to embrace a new mode of picture making and to photograph and ultimately find herself in what she came upon in her travels. These colour photographs made in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan and the Philippines have a resonance which is uniquely Wilson's. A testament to the theory that when artists work with honesty, any image making is in the end a form of self-portrait. A Note About the Proceeds from See Yourself When All is New Press Release for See Yourself When All is New The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.

Fold, Spindle, Mutilate Artist Karina Kraenzle Vernissage Friday February 4th, 2011, 18:00 - 21:00 On View February 4th - 28th, 2011 Daily Hours Mon - Fri 10:00 - 18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 Fold, Spindle, Mutilate assembles in the Red Wall Gallery for the first time, photographic images from three related bodies of work by Karina Kraenzle. Part photography, part sculpture, and part collage, these works use advertising as their source material. The techniques employed, a scanner for some images, and a scalpel for others, operate at both physical and metaphorical levels to underline the powerful qualities of propaganda inherent in the carefully constructed image of "female". The collection spans three years of production beginning in 2008 and shows Kraenzle's formal and conceptual evolution of this line of inquiry. Each successive body of work conveys a different aspect of the artist's critique of the relentless use and manipulation of images of women in popular culture and its ensuing psychic cost. These re-presented pictures examine the fragile nature of both the subject and the viewer from their vantage point at the crossroads between photography and sculpture. Press Release for Fold, Spindle, Mutilate The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.

Every artist makes crucial decisions at many points in their process that could be reduced to a question of inclusion versus exclusion.

Secret Garden Artist Angelina McCormick Vernissage Friday June 18th, 2010, 17:00-20:00 On View June 18th - August 28th, 2010 Daily Hours Mon - Fri 10:00-18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00 Secret Garden by Angelina McCormick is, on the surface, a collection of flower photographs spanning 5 years of obsessive imaging of dying and artificial flora. Assembled for the first time in the Red Wall Gallery, the resulting array of images is much more than a botanical collection. This exhibition reveals how McCormick's practice has evolved over time. The formal elements of her photographs have changed with each collection; passing through several film formats, camera types and production approaches to the most recent iconic 8” X 10” shot, large, clean images. More significantly, the expressive content of her work has also evolved. Each successive grouping, although always of either real or artificial flora, conveys a different aspect of the artist's search for self. Early work tackles aging, sickness and also death as transformation. Images of this ultimate of changes from life to death are made by someone who describes herself as “ruined and living in both worlds”, and pose important questions about our perceptions of both states of being. McCormick's Holga series is playful and made with deliberate misdirection. These photos of fake flowers cloak gallows humour in a seductive surface of candy colours and soft edges. The most recent works become larger and more iconic. Crisp and bright, they induce awe sometimes at odds with their unpretentious look at human relationships, personalities and archetypes. Press Release for Secret Garden The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.

An exhibition of a photographic typology documenting people of "pure bred" ethnicity in order to preserve the lineage and identity of humankind. El-Kassis explores a personal perspective into the definition of lineage through these images. She envisions these photographs serving as proof for future generations of the existence of pure indigenous ethnic groups. As populations become more integrated, an aspect of identity becomes unrecognizable, so she has begun this typology in order to help preserve the ancestry and identity of humankind.

She works with glass, newsprint, and piano wire to build an art piece to be photographed. By placing each dress in context, she allows the viewer to momentarily forget about the fashion and creates a setting and image that could be an editorial page in any fashion magazine. It is through this vision and imagination that she creates a visual metaphor for the fashion industry.

The Collections Solo Series 2009 Artist: Sarah Fisher Date: February 6th to March 2nd Vernissage: Friday, February 6th 2009, 17:00-20:00 A photographic exhibition exploring the obsession involved in collecting similar objects. Photographer Sarah Fisher gives insight into collecting, through images of many similar objects. Throughout this exhibition the ideas and questions posed are from the artist's self-reflection and questioning of her own deficit throughout the years. These visuals represent a reflection of personal separation from things worth keeping and a curiosity in the people who can't be satisfied with one item, but must have many similar ones. Her interest is not in accumulating physical items but in documenting this need in others. The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.

La photographe Sarah Fisher lance un regard sur la collection par l'entremise d'images d'objets semblables. À travers cette exposition, elle explore des idées et des questions provenant d'introspections et de questionnements au sujet de son propre deficit au cours des années. Ces images reflètent une séparation personnelle d'objets valant la peine d'être conservés ainsi qu'une curiosité pour les gens qui ne sont satisfaits que lorsqu'ils possèdent plusieurs versions semblables d'un même objet. L'artiste ne manifeste aucun intérêt pour l'accumulation d'objets physiques mais plutôt pour la documentation de ce besoin chez d'autres.

Watershed Vernissage: Friday, Sept. 19th 2008, 17:00-21:00 On view: Friday, September 19th to Monday, November 3rd 2008 Viewing Hours During Festival X (Sept.18-28): Mon-Fri 11:00-19:00, Sat-Sun 10:00-16:00 Regular Hours: Mon-Fri 11:00-18:00, Sat 10:00-15:00, Sun and late evenings by appointment or chance. An exhibition of works exploring turning points in the artistic practices of twelve photographic artists. In the context of the photographic medium at its own crossroads, the theme for Festival X: “The Decisive Moment” is reinterpreted in Watershed through the work of twelve established photographic artists. Contributors to this eclectic group show have been asked to select a work that they feel was a turning point in their practice, and to select or create a new work that is in dialogue with this decisive career moment. This exhibition, seeking greater understanding of the creative process, looks beyond the capture of the individual image, to examine the artistic watershed. Exhibiting Artists David Barbour, Clive Cretney, Tony Fouhse, Chantal Gervais, Lorraine Gilbert, Adrienne Herron, Pedro Isztin, Maggie Knaus, Rita Leistner, Marie-Jeanne Musiol, Michael Schreier, Michael Tardioli Moment décisif 19 septembre - 3 novembre Vernissage: Vendredi, le 19 septembre de 17 h 00 à 21 h 00. Une exposition d'œuvres explorant les grands tournants des pratiques artistiques de douze artistes photographes. Attentif au contexte du médium photographique arrivé à un important carrefour, le « moment décisif », thème du Festival X, est réinterprété dans cette exposition par le biais des œuvres de douze artistes photographes établis. Les participants à cette exposition de groupe diversifiée ont dû sélectionner une œuvre représentant selon eux un grand tournant dans leur pratique. On leur a ensuite demandé de choisir ou de produire une seconde œuvre reflétant ce moment critique de leur carrière. S'intéressant à une meilleure compréhension du processus créatif, cette exposition, plutôt que de s'arrêter à la production d'images individuelles, vise l'analyse du moment décisif artistique. Artistes Participants David Barbour, Clive Cretney, Tony Fouhse, Chantal Gervais, Lorraine Gilbert, Adrienne Herron, Pedro Isztin, Maggie Knaus, Rita Leistner, Marie-Jeanne Musiol, Michael Schreier, Michael Tardioli The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.

Barbour has balanced photographic assignments and personal projects, traveling to over 35 countries over the span of his career and to Cuba 13 times. Havana challenged from the first, Barbour's abilities as a street photographer, and now the comfort gained from familiarity of place has refined his approach and allowed him to extend his visual style through the use of a variety of camera formats. Barbour explores this remarkable city with the attitude that life is interesting and the resulting images capture moments that mirror the humanity and fragility of life that is Havana. Exhibiting Artist: David Barbour Travel to Havana this November with David where he will be leading a week long photo safari.

What often sets them apart from those who are afflicted by other diseases is that you can't tell that they are suffering from anything. They appear on the outside to be as healthy as the average individual, when in reality they suffer daily living a life that is slowly changing them against their will.

Environment Vernissage Friday, February 9th. 17:00-20:00 ENVIRONMENT - is the space that surrounds us; the objects - living and non-living - that fill that space. All things that we see, touch, and smell are part of our environment. Some of these things we pay more attention to than others, at times becoming obsessed with them. One of my obsessions within my environment is old architecture. Iam fascinated by old wood and stone, by the stories that lie in their history, and by the stories that I create on my own, true or not. I can spend my days staring in awe at the design of a window; the many shades of a brick; the texture of a wooden door. Iam captivated by the stories deterioration tells. This captivation has led me to the photographing of architecture time and again. These ten pieces are some of my recent architectural work.
