There Is Nothing: New, Under The Sun; Carol Ann Beaver’s Exhibit
An onlooker wryly pronounced this project as "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear!" but that was merely the first day, April 20, that Carol Beaver began taking photos. What her eye sought out with that first look through her camera's viewfinder has upheavaled into a mountain of incredible tapestries woven of Carol's unique vision of the mundane & gritty world of street construction. The sheer number of images in their present 4 X 6" format placed next to each other would cover an a 20' X 60' area-- and this area continues to grow as Carol pursues her vision. Following her eye through the weeks, the days, the little visions that make up each individual day, the artists' psyche unfolds with amazing richness. One feels priviledged to be allowed to see this world through this artist's unique eye. Perhaps because we are an ordered image trained society--we like our films, our slide shows--we like seeing this work as a tale from end to end, image folllowing upon image, from start to end.
And then we want to see it all over again, from the beginning.
