Joan Pogalies: Above Below Through & Beyond: The Hidden Nature of Nature
on display in July
public reception: July 11, 6-8 p.m.
Joan Pogalies rearranges original photographic images: she crops, enlarges, stacks, flips them from montages documenting local scenes into unrecognizable configurations. These are printed using the dye sublimation technique that heat-infuses pigments into the surface of metal panels up to 4ft x 5ft. For decades, she experimented with (and still produces) traditional photographs before yearning to push through the single moments of her individual images to create deeper stories and vast visual narratives. Thus, she taught herself to reimagine reality. She continues to push, push, push her photos into and through those other dimensions!
Her art has been in shows at University Hospitals (Geauga), Kendal at Oberlin Art Gallery/Friends Gallery, Stella’s Art Gallery, Tri-C East, Photo Cleveland, Ashtabula Arts Center, The Art Gallery, Understory Gallery, and is in private collections.
