April Show -- Life After: Photographs by Mary Zaremba

Zaremba uses flowers and organic materials as metaphors related to the themes of growth, change and aging. Flowers or botanicals are her primary subjects. Her photographs capture their vulnerability and transient beauty as they appear in varying states of life and decay.Zaremba uses the scanner as her camera. Through patience and a great deal of trial and error, she looks for a particular feeling and aesthetic for each image. Zaremba uses the photographic medium to capture the play of light across the delicate surfaces of her floral subjects. The resulting image represents the constantly changing shapes, colors and textures inherent in all organic matter.

Exhibition dates: April 4- 26
