Sorry, you missed the opening reception, and so did I. It was February 22nd. I don't know how I didn't know about it, but I happened on to the show on the 1st of March when I dropped off my application for the Spring Group Painting Show, theme: LOVE. So the show is still up till the end of the month and I would strongly recommend that you get over there one day and enjoy the photography while it's up.
The photo show was called ALTERNATIVE PROCES PHOTOGRAPHY - 3 Women's Explorations.
My favorite two pieces were downstairs in the cafe area: One was a quilt made of photographs transferred to fabric and pieced onto the quilt. First of all I LOVE photography and I have done a little transfer work myself, so I really loved this idea. Also, I have always been interested in non-traditional ways of hanging wall art.
So, #2 favorite was also a non-traditional hanging method, photo transfers onto fabric in embroidery hoops. Beautiful!
The day I stopped by was a cold snowy day and it was so warm and cozy in the cafe' and the art was so interesting that it was a big treat. The fragrance of the brewing of the coffee filled the place with warmth and it was delightful being there.
I admire was Nicole Eiland has tried to do in Merchantville. She brings quality artwork to a historic setting. The opportunities for seeing good art are growing all the time in our area. Support the arts and go over to the Station, buy a coffee, maybe brunch or lunch, and enjoy the photo show!
Happy Trails,
Jo Ann
