Perspective Gallery is excited to host ar•ti•facts, a new exhibition by members Jeffrie Chirchirillo and Jane Feely. While each photographer turns their lens toward very different subject matter, their images find a commonality in approach, highlighting the beauty and meaning in often overlooked, sometimes intimate, scenes.

Chirchirillo brings us Light Filtering Through Leaves, images which capture the annual light show he experiences when the roof of his greenhouse essentially becomes a large light box. Variations in light, weather and the decaying of the spent leaves all add to the magic, resulting in images akin to unique, natural stained-glass windows. 

In Imprints of the Past, Feely captures Tenby, the small Welsh fishing town where her family has lived for centuries. By exploring still-visible artifacts of the past, she touches the imprints of her ancestors, acknowledging those from whom she descends. The resulting work reflects on themes of belonging, continuity and lineage.
