NEO JANUARY
Nancy Fulton: A Tapestry of Seasons

neo fulton
Estival no. 01
 

Most photographers struggle dearly to hold their cameras still as they press the shutter release-Fulton, a registered architect, watercolorist, and photographer, does anything but that. A Tapestry of Seasons investigates time and change; both are continuous as we travel through the year.

Janelle Lynch: Los Jardines de M�xico

November 29, 2011 - January 28, 2012 

 

 lynch_untitled7

Janelle Lynch, Untitled 7, from the series El Jardin de Juegos.

 

The photographs in Los Jardines de M�xico explore themes related to the life cycle and its representations in the urban and rural landscape. Made between 2002 and 2007, each project investigates, if not embraces, a specific facet of existence: loss, death, regeneration, and life.

Reception: Wednesday, March 7, 7:30 - 9 pm
PRC Gallery, 832 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston


traub  

Williard Traub, Recovery 1, 2006.
 
Recovery is a photographic meditation on affliction and rehabilitation by Willard Traub. The work reflects the artist's own experiences battling a rare form of blood cancer, drawing on the strength of his talents as a photographer. Recovery began when Traub was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, and examines his treatment, hospitalization, and recovery process. The images, combined with personal prose and poetry, provide an intimate and hopeful commentary on a disease that signifies much larger life issues.
