Hank Paper- NEW INCISIVE MOMENTS, Marjorie Gillette Wolfe- WIDE OPEN, & Chris Ferguson- Labors of Love
May 22 – June 22, 2025
There will be an Opening Reception on Sunday, June 1, 2:00-5:00 pm with Artist talk at 3:00pm.
The title of the Paper’s show, New Incisive Moments, comes from the phrase that every street photographer knows from Henri Cartier-Bresson, “The Decisive Moment,”. Pressing the shutter a moment too soon or a moment too late is to miss capturing the image. While Cartier-Bresson’s Decisive Moment deals with time (the perfect moment), Paper’s Incisive Moment deals with space, the mystery, and the story within the frame. “While you may not know the beginning or the end, in each image you know there is a story going on”.
On the other side of the gallery, Marjorie Gillette Wolfe shows her panorama and composite photographs in Wide Open. Wolfe describes the differences between these two photographic types as follows: “Composite photographs are meant to unfold a wide world, where separate images are arranged to form a single view, while panoramas are photographs that lead the observer outside the edges of the single frame. In that blur is more than what our eyes let us see, but that we know is there. This is a way of reading the world that I’ve been exploring for a dozen years”.
In the North Gallery, Chris Ferguson shows his new body of work, Labors of Love, which focuses on portraits and depictions of local people who love the work that they do. Many of these portraits depict people who work in the fields of medicine and scientific research. Other images show places that I’m fond of and beloved family members. I hope that people will come away with an appreciation for those who work hard to help others.
Gallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 12-5pm, or by appt.
