(New York, NY) Alterations, a new exhibit featuring award-winning photographers, Carolyn Conrad and Sandi Daniel, will open at the Alex Ferrone Photography Gallery on the North Fork with an Artists’ reception on Friday, November 8th from 6-8 PM with wine from Empire State Cellars and cheese. The “Alterations” exhibit presents works by two regional photographers that involve various methods, steps, and mediums for the abstraction and the transformation of natural scenes, and runs through December 15.
Embracing many approaches including photography, painting, sculpture, and installation, artist, Carolyn Conrad constructs rural scenes from clay and wood using a minimalist approach. She then lights the scenes naturally, creating highlights and shadows for the final photograph with the goal of steering naturalism toward abstraction. A resident of Sag Harbor, Ms. Conrad has exhibited extensively in the United States as well as France; her works have won numerous awards and are part of many private collections.
Combining traditional and contemporary techniques and mediums such as gesso and gold on vellum, award-winning photographer, Sandi Daniel goes beyond the image, reinventing it into an alternate reality and evoking feelings of romance while addressing the fragility of nature. Ms. Daniel’s photographs have been exhibited broadly throughout the United States and Japan, and are part of numerous private collections.
View “Alterations” from November 8 through December 15, and join Carolyn Conrad and Sandi Daniel for a Gallery Talk on Sunday, November 24 at 11:00 AM to hear the discussion about their methods and techniques. The “Alterations” Exhibit and Gallery Talk are sponsored by Abatelli Realty & Appraisal Services.
