Join us on Saturday, June 15th from 5 to 7 p.m. for the opening of “Green Stills” an exhibit of photography by Forrest K. Elliott. A Bachelor of Fine Arts student at the University of New Hampshire in his last year, Elliott’s concentration is in traditional darkroom, alternative and digital photography. He was awarded the 2013-2014 Photography Fellowship at the University of New Hampshire’s Department of Art and Art History. “Green Stills” is a series of images taken at McFarlane Greenhouse Facility in Durham, NH. Elliott is a talented young photographer with a keen sense of composition, balance and technique. He chooses to “make” photographs as opposed to taking pictures of subjects and leaving them as they are. The camera is used as a “tool” and a “memory keeper” to build the final image. Diffused glass starts to abstract the original image thus changing what we are looking at. Add lines, negative space and shapes created by pipes, windows and doorways among other structural elements and the aura of the original image has been transported to a foreign place. Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery is located at 69 Mapple Street (route 113) in Center Sandwich.
