Arvada Double Exposure Show: January 19-March 26, 2017
I've been selected as one of thirteen artists for the Arvada Center for the Arts exhibition: Double Exposure: An Exhibition of Photography and Video. It will run January 19th though March 26, 2017, and the opening reception will be Thursday January 19, 2017 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. It is free and open to the public. It will feature video work and several images from my recent collage series, "The Universe."
From their website, "Double Exposure will feature 13 artists working in both photography and video in the Arvada Center’s Main Gallery. The subject matter and style of each artist ranges from documentary to conceptual, and explores the fact that these two media, photography and video, often help an artist develop their wider practice and bodies of work, as well as offer a glimpse into the versatility that many artists possess." I hope to see you at the opening!
