Photogenic Drawings at Joseph Bellows Gallery

Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to present Carol Panaro-Smith and James Hajicek: Photogenic Drawings. Carol Panaro-Smith and James Hajicek work collaboratively using one of the earliest photographic processes known as photogenic drawing. The artists place plants and other organic objects on hand-coated light-sensitive paper and expose them to direct sunlight. Organic material such as sunflowers and sea kelp wither, react, and change under the intense heat and light of the sun, producing beautiful surface patinas from metallic gold and bronze to iridescent blues and greens.

The exhibition will be on view from May 16th through July 3rd, 2009. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 16th (5-8 pm).
