Quite Contrary…Incarnations of Spring

VCP Exhibiting Members

- Apr 2007

Thoughts of Spring mean much more than just flowers. The Vermont Center for Photography exhibit for April attempts to explore the state of mind that is Spring for so many of us. It is renewal, sunshine’s return, hope and the realization we have made it through another winter.

With twenty-two VCP members participating, there are twenty-two different takes on what Spring means. The photographic styles are as diverse as the new plants about to display themselves. One member, Suzanne L. Flynt, from Dummerston, VT, uses the wet-plate collodion process in an antique camera but with a contemporary vision. Barbara Pleason Mueller, also of Dummerston, VT, captures her intimate details of nature via a digital camera and makes prints on a high end inkjet printer. Mueller says in her artist statement, “My view limited by the lens of my camera allows me to be absorbed in the sweep of a line or the slightest sigh of a petal. As my eyes adjust to the opening of a flower I am mesmerized by the invitation it sends to us to notice, to be swallowed up by its luminousness.”

Other members presenting work are: Michael Havey, Kate Cleghorn, Paul Miller, Paul Adkins, Bob Cantius, Jim Latchis, Judy Stalus, Len Seeve, Michael Miller, Rebecca Lepkoff, Dick Pierce, Steve Parker, Bob George, Sam Pettengill, Steve Ovenden, Helen Jones, Susan Danielson, Kelly Murray, Sam Pettengill and Jim Schlessinger.
