New Exhibit At PABA
New Exhibit At PABA
NEW HAVEN â Photo Art Book Art Gallery, or PABA, Connecticutâs newest gallery showcasing photo-based artwork, is presenting âEllen Carey: Photography Degree Zeroâ through March 10.
Ms Carey has recently been further investigating her use of the Polaroid 20 by 24-inch camera to create a variety of visual effects. Her most recent is on view along with earlier pieces that share similar referents.
In her large format photographs, abstraction and minimalism join forces and speak conceptually of great personal loss and suffering while ultimately retaining a celebratory sense of strength and purpose.
The one-of-a-kind photographs in the exhibit are the products of Ms Careyâs extended history of working with the Polaroid medium together with elements of chance within the process that metaphorically bind her work with her life experiences.
Ellen Carey is an associate professor at Hartford Art School, University of Hartford. Her work has been exhibited both in the United States and internationally.
Photo Art Book Art is at 1044 Chapel Street and can be contacted by calling 203/773-3665 or sending email to pabagallery@snet.net.
