A very recent digital photographic diptych, “Queer, Fag, Idiot (Self-portrait)‘ went on view in the 3rd Annual International Juried Exhibition, “Inner & Outer Landscape: Contemporary Self-Portraiture & Representation’ at the A.D. Gallery at the University of North Carolina, Pembroke. This piece is part of the series, “Sticks and Stones’, which debuted at the Watchung Arts Center in March of 2010.
The juror of the exhibit, Sarah Powers, Director of the Visual Art Exchange Gallery, in Raleigh, had this to say as part of her statement, “… As a juror, I picked work based on my mood and what was interesting to me in the process and compared these works to the entries as a whole. I might be drawn to different works in a different setting or in a different season and want. I believe the works in this exhibition are intriguing, well crafted and thoughtful. Further, they are truly snapshots of contemporary life.”
The exhibit at UNC Pembroke runs from Feb. 18, 2011 through March 11, 2011. Please contect the gallery for details about the exhibit:
