The work of photographers Casey Orr and Nancy Breslin, in an exhibit titled "Intervals," is on display through March 23 at the San Antonio College Visual Arts and Technology Center (VATC) Gallery, 950 Lewis at Dewey Street.
Both artists will discuss their work at a lecture, in VATC room 120, followed by a reception on Thursday, Feb. 14, 10:50-Noon.
The photographers' works "chart the indeterminate nature of 'time spent,'" said Visual Arts & Technology Instructor Rebecca Dietz.
She added, "To create 'By Water,' Casey Orr (Leeds, England) traveled by canal and containership to connect her home in Leeds, England by water to her birthplace in Chester, Pennsylvania. Her series records the people and places met along this 3,135-mile long journey. She alternates portraits with studies of changing land and seascapes, creating a rhythm of intimacy, isolation and time."
In 'Squaremeals,' Nancy Breslin, of Newark, Delaware, has produced "a five-year pinhole camera documentation of meals shared with family and friends. The pinhole camera's tiny aperture requires very long exposures ranging from a few seconds to more than an hour." Breslin states, "The blurring of the people results in images that are less about the individuals pictured than about the more universal ritual of mealtime."
The exhibit, which is sponsored by the Visual Arts & Technology Department, the Office of Student Life and the Student Activity Fee Committee, is free and open to the public. The gallery hours are Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. and Friday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
