Efflorescence by Shannon Amidon
Efflorescence is a series of lumen prints by Shannon Amidon inspired by her interest in blending artistic renderings of nature and old world photographic techniques. Camera-less images are created by exposing botanical specimens and photographic paper to varying levels of sunlight, time, and temperature, creating unique and ethereal images that transcend the specimens' natural color, shape, and form.
A companion ambient sound installation by Compartment organically
interprets pieces of Shannon Amidon's Efflorescence series
resulting in musical vignettes that are sometimes alarming, sometimes
whimsical. Compartment will be present opening night performing a live
musical installation.
art by Centa Schumacher
Preconscious a photographic exhibition by Centa Schumacher. This work explores what is just beneath our awareness using the body as an intermediary between the conscious mind and the subconscious. By turning the camera onto herself, Centa Schumacher shows that the separation between the physical self and the mind is nearly non-existent.
