This Open Studio Night at Dragonfly Gallery will take place during the 1st Annual Exhibition: Photographic Processes & More. Masks are required and social distancing will be practiced.

Exhibition Description: 1st Annual Exhibition: Photographic Processes & More will feature work by Aaron Wilder, Alkebuluan Merriweather, Barbara Nati, Camille Silverman, Darren Oberto, Deven Mauri, Erin Patton-McFarren, Francisco Malave, Jim Brady, JoAnn Terry, Julie O’Connor, Nemanja Zdravkovic and Ozzie Stern. The exhibition highlights traditional photographic works such as landscape photography & still-life and also explores work that pushes the boundaries of real versus digital. Digital collagist Barbara Nati, self describes her work “...like postcards from the future” by “using digital montage techniques, Nati creates dystopian visions of the future.”  Aaron Wilder, on the other hand “blurs the boundaries between the analog and the digital, the public and the private”...and Camille Silverman presents work as a reflection of living through a pandemic, what she labels as “the Pandemic Insomnia Album (PIA)”, rethinking assumptions about form and boundaries. The exhibition represents a collection of new and emerging as well as established artists/photographers.
