Virtual Artist Talk and exhibition walk through with sculptor-photographer Stephen Althouse
October 15th, 2020
4 p.m.
Free

Virtual Artist Talk and exhibition walk through with sculptor-photographer Stephen Althouse. Objects of Intention is now open at the Gregg Museum. Althouse begins with art pieces he creates using man-made and natural objects, cloth, tools, and simple farm machinery. He then records images of them using large format film cameras and highly specialized printing and development processes. The resulting prints are quite large (up to 9 feet wide), and display exquisite detail and rich tones, commanding a sculptural presence. These mystic, almost sacred depictions of the human experience are further enriched by the artist through the addition of deftly embedded messages in the images themselves. A YouTube recording of this program will be available.
