I never ceased to be amazed by what conjures a memory.  I was contemplating what to send to my 92 year old grandmother in a care package, and of course, food is always her favorite (genetics).  Sudden I was 5 years old watching her dump marshmallows & coconut in cocktail fruit and excitedly explaining all about the food of the gods… ambrosia, a fantasy food.  Okay, maybe the genetic predisposition has changed a little over the years, ha. This next Call wants YOUR idea of fact or fantasy.  But, I don’t think they are looking for ambrosia…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Fact & Fantasy

 

Photographers have a wonderful ability to turn ordinary surroundings into an otherworldly realm. Optical illusions, chemistry, and the mechanics of modern tools, have opened new possibilities for artists to untether their imaginations. Artists exploring make-believe use their dreams and memories as subject matter. Their work distorts reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. Photographers construct their own fantasies, creating alternate worlds that straddle the line between reality and fiction.  For Fact and Fantasy, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the unearthly and strange.
