Current Exhibit
Inner Garden:
Photographs by Susan Lirakis beginning June 18 running through September 10, 2010.
Susan comments: "Within each of us is a garden – a personal sanctuary grown from memory, imagination and dreams – a place of beauty, meaning, and an open heart.
We find these gardens in the landscapes that surround us, and we create them in our own backyards as places for daydreaming, self-discovery, transformation, refuge, even transcendence. We discover them in the mountains and valleys, the fields and streams, the oceans and the sky. The physical layout of an area, such as the location of a crawling or climbing vine, the color of a particular blossom, or the height and shape of a tree, serves to define the space – its focus and point of view. Warm colors invite, far reaching trees offer a respite shade or a sense of enclosure. The wandering of a stream provides a pathway for our souls. All of these characteristics provide gateways to other realms.
Through my camera, I make my own interpretations of these places. The plastic Holga camera, in particular, allows for the spontaneity of creating dreams in imagery. The use of this camera takes me back to the way I photographed as a child."
