Ijams Hallway Gallery: Donna Moore
Category: Exhibitions, visual art, Free event and Science, nature
Ijams welcomes Donna Moore's Night Blooming Cereus showcase to the Hallway Gallery this month.
Moore says her work is often an exploration of reality distorted by time and memory. For this series, she used a flatbed scanner and an enlarger as her camera, and made cyanotypes and lumen prints using the sun and the passage of time to create original prints. Don't miss it!
