Event Description |
An Exhibition of work by Photographers Louise Russell and Douglas Stockdale.
Russell and Stockdale each explore their personal history through photographs of botanical subjects. Russell’s images from her series 'Ways of Knowing' are of plants found on her family’s property in the San Diego backcountry and are paired with actual botanical specimens. These are often affixed to her images as well. Her artworks speak to the ways she experiences the land; spiritually, emotionally, artistically and scientifically. The stunning beauty of Stockdale’s series, 'Memory Pods', are images of a seedpod first flowering then withering and belie the very personal meaning and intent behind his photographs. The bold colors fade to earth tones and reference the slow destruction of Alzheimer’s disease Through these photographs he investigates mortality, memory and loss.
Those who would like to attend the reception and view the exhibition must go online to reserve a walkthrough time.
