Amazing
songsters. Morning alarm clocks. Descended from dinosaurs. Celestial navigators. Migratory
marvels. Birds have fascinated artists for centuries as actual and symbolic
creatures. For this exhibition, we sought photographs that embody
the essence of birds, whether real or imagined. Juror S. Gayle Stevens selected forty photos for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery from January
2 through 26, 2013. She also chose an additional thirty-five photos for the gallery’s
Online Annex. All selected work will be included in a full-color exhibition catalog
available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected
for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat
and frame sizes.
Juror's Statement: Avian imagery ranges from depictions of creatures
of sublime delicacy, to the strong and impressive, the anthropomorphic, and the universal representation of freedom. Submissions to Birds Real or Imagined drew from this amazing diverse range of bird
depictions. Choosing 75 works from these images of birds spanning the gossamer and mythical, to the dramatic and real,
proved a difficult challenge. I strove to balance the varied visual approaches and create a show that addresses all
those elements that cause birds to have such a strong hold on our collective imagination in all their beauty, mystery and
symbolism.
