Thin Lines

Leah Mae Dyjak

The Vermont Center for Photography starts its second decade with a fine, thoughtful show entitled, “Thin Lines, photographs by Leah Mae Dyjak”.  Any life, even a young one, is marked by experiences with mortality and human fragility. Whether subtle or profound, we carry these marks within ourselves and in doing so realize our own momentary existence. Dyjak says, “I shoot what I believe to be the transitional space between two worlds, where spirit or energy may cross into visual reality.” Using landscape and figures, Dyjak makes tangible this exploration.

Leah Mae Dyjak, of Greenfield, Massachusetts, received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art as a photography major in 2006. Dyjak has taught photography at The Brattleboro Retreat, Snow Farm, and assisted in Tom Young’s view camera class at Mass College of Art. She has exhibited at Mass College of Art and Greenfield Community College. She is currently the Assistant Director of the Insight Photography Project in Brattleboro, Vermont. Dyjak uses large and medium format film, which she then scans to adjust in the digital darkroom and prints inkjet on archival Hannumule Photo Rag Paper. 

An opening reception will be held at the gallery, 49 Flat Street (next to the parking garage) during Brattleboro’’s Gallery Walk on Friday, May 2, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The exhibit closes on Saturday, May 31st.
