HAS Faculty Member Ellen Carey will have her work on view at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling. Presented by JHB Gallery, the exhibit Structural Play will be on view from March 9 through May 26.
Carey’s work “Dings & Shadows” are color photographs created entirely in the darkroom without either traditional subject matter or negative stage in between. Carey’s process includes manipulating the photographic paper by hand, before exposing it to filtered lights. Her work is both experimental, yet deeply rooted in the origins of photography.
Structural Play features artists who work across a variety of mediums, including media, paper, ceramics, mixed-media installations, and photography. All of the eight artists featured are women, linked by their “engagement with process of play and material exploration” as GothamToGo.com describes.
One of Carey’s recent two-part solo exhibitions Struck By Light was on display at the New Britain Museum of American Art from July 2023 through January 2024.
