Peggy Shaw
New to the exhibition is Peggy Shaw, whose photographic collages explore the moments between reality and imagination when everything appears veiled yet remains lucid. Through this visual haze, tactile objects and photographs drift between physical and spiritual existence. Shaw gathers twigs, wires, thorns, eggshells and bird nests, juxtaposing them with transparent film images of figures and animals, creating a place of introspection and calm. A translucent photograph of a woman floating in water is placed above a flower, strand of hair and seed pod. By collaging physical objects with ethereal images, Shaw allows the figures and symbols to shift between the real and the imagined, resting comfortably in the middle.
