(Photo Credit: Wisteria by Brook Reynolds)
“These desolate structures are evidence of the environmental impact that already exists in our communities. Once viewed as familiar places that served a vital function, they are now toxic sites that remain vacant because it is so difficult to clean them up.”
Brook Reynolds‘ solo exhibition, Light, Sweet, Crude, is currently on display in the Center’s South Gallery until Saturday, June 19. Her series was selected by juror Katherine Ware for the Center’s Portfolio ShowCase, Volume 4. Reynolds’ gallery reception as well as the reception for the Red exhibition will be held this Friday night, May 7, from 6 to 9 PM. This event is FREE and open to the public.
Using photography to voice her environmental concerns, Reynolds’ artist statement reads:
“The realism of photography is used to depict the dilapidation and emptiness of abandoned gas stations to emphasize the inevitable failure of the current system and to raise awareness that we are in urgent need of change. ”

(Photo Credit: Rescue, Delayed by Wrenay Gomez Charlton)
“My work addresses the always on-going production of female agency.”
Wrenay Gomez Charlton was selected by juror Stella Kramer for the Center’s “Portfolio ShowCase Volume 3.” Prints from her series, The Space Between, are now on display in the Center’s South Gallery until April 24, 2010. Her photographs explore her daughter’s fleeting adolescence and the ” isolation and the loneliness inherent in the passage from child to adult.”
Discussing how her series documents her daughter’s maturation, Gomez Charlton’s artist statement reads:
“This space between is multifaceted; the shift from being active to inactive, the passage from girlhood to womanhood, and the disparity between societal idealizations of childhood and actual experience.”
