Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 14th, 5PM – 8PM
PDNB Gallery opens two exhibitions on October 14, 2023.
Marcy Palmer: That Luscious Day
Marcy Palmer’s suite of gold leaf photographs explore the subject of beauty. She takes botanical photographs, mostly flowers, and then gilds them to emphasize their preciousness. PDNB is including Marcy’s abstract series, Unearthing. These expressive images can be viewed as documented performance art. Given the gallery’s previous show of early abstract photography, this is a continuing exploration of contemporary abstract photography.
Daguerreotypes: Up Close
This exhibition was conceived and curated by Thomas Kennaugh. He is both a collector of early photography and an artist who incorporates photographs into his own work. Kennaugh is sharing his daguerreotypes in a unique way. The exhibition will pair these small, beautifully cased images along with 22 x 17-inch photographs of each daguerreotype in the show. He decided to enlarge the daguerreotype portrait to make the work more accessible. The photograph enlargements reveal more character and offer a new way of seeing the subject.
