Requiem

“Choreographer Jacqulyn Buglisi, a passionate descendant of Martha Graham, moves us with sublime images that touch the heart and embrace the soul. In the world premiere of Letters of Love on Ripped Paper, Buglisi is inspired by letters that extol different forms of love .
Completing the program is Requiem, one of Buglisi’s classics, rich with her voluptuous visual sense and musicality.”

ARTIST RECEPTION : MARCH 3rd : 5 TO 8 PM

Keyes Art, 551 West 21st (4th floor), New York

 

 

Terri Gold joined my Tribes of South Rajasthan & Kutch Photo~Expedition™ last year, and will be showcasing a series of her photographs from tribal India and Kham that are painted with encaustic wax and oils. This is an intricate and creative process, which Terri describes here on her blog.

Terri is an award-winning photographer and artist based in New York City, and built an impressive reputation for her rituals, rites of passage, festivals, celebrations and portraits from all over the world.

The exhibition is open until  March 8th.

It’s well worth attending this exhibition to appreciate Terri’s artistry, and her ability to capture the very essence of tribal India and Kham on such a creative medium…so mark your calendars!!!

And here’s an insight into the installation process.

Installation Day at Keyes Arts

It’s a long way from India to New York.  I remember the moment when each image was taken. I am always interested in the creative process as a journey. For me taking the picture is just the beginning of the process. After creating this work, painting with encaustic wax and oils, it is wonderful to see it in the Gallery at last.

If you want to stop for a preview, I will be there Thursday night 2/17 from 6-8.

10,000 different voices…

“Some people say ,“What does it matter if Tribal cultures fade away.” The answer is simple. When asked the meaning of being human, all the diverse cultures of the world respond with 10,000 different voices.” – Wade Davis

Working on the images for my upcoming show. Painting with encaustic wax  and oil paints is reminding me of  how much I missed the darkroom and working with mixed media. The feeling of being on a journey; shaping and sculpting each image. Creating images to express not just what I saw but what I felt during my travels. My work is interpretive in nature, a combination of the artistic and documentary style of photography. When I am visiting these places, I feel alive and comfortable. I am looking for the grace notes, for the sense of wonder in our world.

Impressions in Wax: The Creative Process

The photograph is the beginning of the process. My technique involves creating imagery using the invisible infrared light spectrum. I shot infrared film for many years. Now, I use a digital camera converted to infrared and the digital darkroom to create the split-toned imagery. Working with infrared light adds an element of mystery when creating the work, which, I feel, suits the subject matter and the timeless quality of the images. The post processing is part of my medium-I work with Photoshop and now I am pouring encaustic wax on the surface of the prints. This creates work that looks similar to a photograph, but at the same time depends heavily upon the intervention of my hand. I was just in a studio in Philadelphia working with the wax and painting the images with oil sticks. The digital images have always seemed a bit too clean for me and I have been looking for a way to put back in elements that may surprise me.


The Buglisi Dance Theatre’s Benefit Fete d’Amour

As a preview to their 17th anniversary season on February 15-20th, at The Joyce Theater, The Buglisi Dance Theatre performed at the Cultural Services of the French Embassy for the DBT’s benefit ‘Fete ‘d Amour’ on Thursday, December 9th. The celebration of love will unfold this Valentine’s week as DBT performs the world premiere of  ‘Letters of Love on Ripped Paper’. The piece is inspired by letters between legendary lovers, such as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Napoleon and Josephine, and is set to an original score by Daniel Brewbaker.
