Off the Hill, my current exhibition at Fitchburg State University, is an offshoot of the Facing Fitchburg portfolio, which you may be familiar with. Both share the notion that an individual CAN make a difference. My goal is to shine a light on those who do so that others might join them.
Happily transplanted to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, I travel my world intentionally without a camera. When I meet an intriguing person, I ask questions so I can write about them. My challenge is to make each person a colorful character in their own story, a hero in their own legend. Still far from a camera, I envision a photograph that is unique to them and sparks curiosity, encouraging viewers to read their profile. That is where viewers get the specifics. Then I do whatever it takes to make that image tangible.
I’ve directed this particular presentation to the Fitchburg State University community, but the exhibition is open to the public. (20) portraits are on display on the 1st and 3rd floors of the main library in Hamilton Hall.
Library hours are: Saturday 12-5 PM, Sunday 1-11:30 PM, Monday-Thursday 7:45 AM – 11:30 PM, Friday 7:45 AM-5 PM, WHEN CLASSES ARE IN SESSION.
