“Living Shadows” by Malakai Hamilton will be among the photos featured at the Clinton County Art Council’s juried photography show, opening tonight at 6 p.m. at the Station Gallery.
LOCK HAVEN — The Clinton County Arts Council’s juried photography show has become an event that many look forward to every year. It not only showcases the work of talented photographers in our area; it also provides an opportunity for visitors to Lock Haven’s Station Gallery to view our world in fresh and sometimes surprising ways.
The theme of this year’s photo show is “Only the Shadows Know.” It was up to our photographers to interpret that theme in whatever ways made sense to them. The 14 photographers whose images appear in the show had a broad array of responses: the image of a summer kitchen seen through a pane of broken glass, midnight landscapes, poignant portraits of the self, loved ones, and precious, indulgent animals. Some captured the abstract play of light and shadow, while others focused on the way shadows can transform and deepen more realistic landscapes. We invite you to think along with us about ways shadows can both hide and reveal, soften and startle.
The exhibit will officially begin with an opening reception at the Station Gallery on Friday, April 12, at 6 p.m.
This year photographer Mark Anderman of the Wild Studio will be judging the show. Mark graduated from Lycoming College, going on to become a staff photographer for the Williamsport Sun Gazette. He joined the Terry Wild Photography Studio full-time in 1976, eventually purchasing the business in 2002. He is currently owner and president of the commercial studio, working with small businesses, corporations and individuals, producing digital images as well as family and personal portraiture.
Mark will award the prizes for the show at 7 p.m. at tonight’s opening, after which he will talk about the decisions he made in his judging.
