"Dreaming Realities" Lecture and Opening Tonight at Trinity University

There is a wonderful lecture and exhibition opening happening tonight at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Artists Jerry Uelmsann & Maggie Taylor will be lecturing in the Ruth Taylor Concert Hall. The lecture begins at 7pm and is free and open to the public. The lecture will be followed by an opening reception for their exhibition "Dreaming Realities" curated by Trinity Gallery Practicum Students. The exhibition reception begins at 8:00 p.m. in the Art Gallery, Dicke Art Building.

“Taylor’s personal style was developed while earning her master’s degree in photography at the University of Florida in the mid-1980’s. Earlier in her career, Taylor physically laid out her compositions and captured the collage on an old 4-by-5 inch camera. She went digital in 1996 and now lays the objects one at a time on a flatbed scanner, leaving the scanner lid up to prevent damage and to achieve a solid, dark background. Taking anywhere from a few weeks to six months, Taylor constructs her pieces by layering the scanned images, as many as forty per piece, to create a unique digital image. Using Photoshop, she delves into her own mind and brings disparate images and objects together to create fantasies of her own creation.” (from an article at Griffin Museum)

San Antonio is only an hour a way from Austin. If you are interested in photography especially photo-montage this is not a lecture and opening you want to miss.
