NORTH GALLERY
Solastalgia | Xochiyollotl Carrow Harbison
Xochiyollotl Carrow Harbison, then and now converge, overlapping in my mind, acrylic on canvas, 3' x 4'
I remember the first summer I noticed the trees shriveling, turning grey, eaten from the inside out. The air was hot and the rain never came. The swing tree and the joy it brought now lived only in my mind.
I remember the first winter the snow wasn’t falling as heavily as it used to. Roads without snowbanks, muddy ski trails, and trick-or-treaters without bulky layers under their costumes.
I remember the summer I pulled fish from the river, their bodies smaller than I'd grow to know. The time I saw white bellies in an eddy, where the water had pooled and the temperature rose.
I remember returning home from college. Seeing the retreat of glaciers, once blue, clear, and towering, now out of reach. Small things, white and dirty. Four short years - a lifetime.
I’m not much older now.
The world will not be what it was.

Nature Macros (Water, Smoke and Bugs) | Jackie Bowling
Jackie Bowling, The Coil, archival ink on professional matte paper, 10 x 14 inches
Recently I have been concentrating on macro photography in the natural world. The small things that make up the world have always intrigued me. I look for forms that may be missed by just a casual glance or not visible to the naked eye. Through photography I can bring these things to a larger scale therefore allowing others to observe the world around them in a new perspective.
In this display I examine the stages of a water drop, the refracting capabilities of water, the fluidity of smoke and the beautiful intricacies of bugs. I use a Sony camera with a 90mm macro lens and a tripod. For inside shots I use an off camera strobe and for outside photos I augment natural light with a small off-camera light if necessary. I invite you to take some time and observe the smaller worlds within our world.
