About the exhibition
"Photography has always been a powerful medium for evoking an emotional response in the viewer -whether awe, revulsion, sadness, or joy. By framing the context and using light, shadow, focus and depth of field and visual imagination, the viewer is invited into the world of the artist. The juxtaposition of shapes and lines, the use or absence of color, the dimensionality of a piece, all contribute to creating a moment that can resonate deep within the viewer’s psyche. There is alchemy in both the creation of imagery and in the intimate engagement with a stranger who now views the work. No more interpretation is required; simply stop, notice and engage in self-inquiry. Like a modern-day Rorschach, each of the nine bodies of work begins a conversation of meaning between artist and viewer. As you transit this hallway, pause for a moment to enjoy that brief exchange and take it with you into your day." - Vicky Stromee
The works of nine talented artists are included in this exhibition: Julia Arstorp, Anne Berry, Cathy Cone, Sandra Klein, Joan Lobis Brown, Marcy Palmer, Sara Silks, Vicky Stromee and Dawn Watson all present images to tell stories, ask questions and engage us in visual richness.
The Griffin @ Lafayette City Center Passageway is located at 2 Ave de Lafayette in Downtown Crossing, Boston. The passageway connects Macy’s, the Lafayette Tower offices and the Hyatt Regency, Boston.
