See 'Shifting Shapes' at The Wright Place
Margaret Warren is displaying her work "Shifting Shapes," a selection of large format prints from her most recent on-going photographic projects, "The Porsche Junkyard Series" and "Mind Talk." Warren's work has never before been seen in Pensacola in this scale.
With the Junkyard Series, Warren explores a junkyard in Northwest Florida filled with (mostly) Porsche sports cars. Winged horsed, birds skeletons and faces are just a few of the magical characters she has found in the twisted layers of paint, metal and rust.
In her series "Mind Talk," Warren's photographic subjects come from her own carefully constructed and improvised layers of light, fluid, people, paint and objects.
The WRIGHT PLACE is located at 80 East Wright Street. Gallery hours Monday thru Friday 9 until 5. For more details call JoAnn Holm 432- 3663, Gallery Director.
A reception, open to the public will be held on Thursday, Dec. 6 from 5 until 9 p.m.
For more information, contact Margaret at 324-1928.
