Landscape: Revealed and Reframed features contemporary perspectives on landscape in photography, print, painting, and drawing by four Connecticut artists. The exhibition will open with a reception and artist talk on Wednesday, September 9 from 5:30 - 7:30 pm and will be on view in the gallery through October 11, Thursday - Sunday, 12 - 4 pm.

Daniel Buttrey presents Myron’s Farm, a photographic record of the artist’s walk along the perimeter of the farm after an early morning encounter with the disgruntled landowner. Buttrey engages the viewer in an experience of perception and the passing of time in the form of an accordion book, while questioning ideas of ownership, infringement, and surveillance. His work is also a reaction to “the threat of violence, and a reminder that when someone tells you they want to shoot you, you should listen”.

Ted Hendrickson exhibits photographic works from two series which reflect his deep interest in durations of time, and changes in the human occupied landscape. In two panoramic images from his Glacial Erratics series, we consider geologic time in our everyday surroundings as represented in “the boulder’s implacable presence… a testament to the power of glacial ice.”  Six photographs from his series From my Porch reflect day to day changes, in the variety of light and growth over the seasons, in a single suburban view.

Pamela Marks creates paintings that reflect her personal experience of the landscape and the predicament of climate change. In her small paintings on book pages from the Living Earth Series, published in 1975 and focused on our world’s interconnectedness and precarious balance, Marks employs an orderly use of color and geometric abstraction to heighten the pages’ emotional impact. Her larger paintings on cyanotypes use geometric patterns that fragment the landscape and create a barrier between us and nature. In these works, the artist uses color patterns that “reference my experiences while walking in the forest, and embody elements of time, sequence, and rhythm.”

Timothy McDowell’s landscapes are inventive and mysterious, incorporating geometric structures that encapsulate fragments of an idealized landscape and suggest biospheres. The artist describes his work as developing from “a compulsive preoccupation, a fixation, with nature and landscape…and a curiosity and fascination with process.” His works in the exhibition are created with a variety of techniques and media, drawing in red chalk and conté; copper plate etching; and oil painting combined with cyanotype, a process which the artist defines as representing an “integration of the lens and the brush”.
