February 2019 - Evanescence

Evanescence: Neil Berkowitz, Thelma Harris and Lisa Parsons

February 14th – March 14th, 2019 Artist Panel Discussion and Closing Reception: Thursday, March 14th, noon - 1pm

Evanescence. n. The event of fading and gradually vanishing from sight.

Neil Berkowitz, Thelma Harris and Lisa Parsons respond to the idea of place uniquely from an ephemeral and abstracted sense of being in layered digital photography, to reflections on time and personal history through dimensional Polaroid wall and pedestal installations, to preservation of our natural world in the documentation of landscape.  Together, these artists play off of each other’s profound conception of place and time through the lens and experimentation of photography, making the fleeting nature of time tangible.
