"BRASS BUDZ" by Bruce Zenge
Brass Budz are a result of reusing and repurposing worn out and damaged reloading components, orphaned revolver parts and other material to create a new decorative object. Hopefully, they will bring a smile to your face and brighten your home. [email protected]
"Various Details" by Kerrie Hill
My photographs seek to expand the viewers’ perceptions of the world around them.
I see details, shapes, patterns, textures, colors. As humans we tend to turn visual stimuli into objects and label them. It has been said that once we have named something we no longer see it. We create a general concept, a shorthand identification of something and then we stop appreciating its uniqueness and we don’t notice if it has changed.
Some of the images in this exhibit are of easily recognizable things such as what may seem to be a simple flower arrangement. But these are quirky arrangements in that they include weeds. I ask you to consider what does it mean when we call something a weed and who gets to decide a plant is a weed?
Other photos show part of an object such as showing details of manhole covers. You may have already noticed manhole covers come in different patterns or designs and have different manufacturers. But you may not have thought about how the place they have been left to serve (i.e., their location) can change them. Time and place often change them –just as time and place can change us.
Some my images emphasize shape or geometric forms. These might include a whole object, several arranged objects, or some architectural details. In some cases by narrowing the focus to just some of an object’s details the images become abstracts where the object is no longer identifiable.
I also invite you to expand your awareness of yourself by being attentive to how you interact with the images. You might notice if you look at the titles and how often you look at the title before looking at the photo. If you do look at the title consider if or how it shapes your perception of or reaction to each image. [email protected]
