LAWSON: TIME SCENE
June 19 –
August 1, 2008
Main Gallery
A component of the inaugural Augusta Photography Festival, this special
exhibition features the work of noted West Virginia-based photographer Stephen
Lawson. Lawson’s arresting photographic montages have sometimes been described
as “sculpting the materials of time and space”. Horizontal, circular, or
even spiral in shape, his images are created using unique hand-crafted cameras
that incrementally record scenes over time, showing changes in subject, light
and weather.
