Six Virginia Intermont seniors in the Photography and Digital Imaging Department have their works on display at the Abingdon Arts Depot’s Special Exhibits Gallery, April 4-May 4. The show is free and open to the public. An artist’s reception will be held April 21 from 2:00-4:00 p.m.
This show is the culmination of years of dedicated study by the six students: Paige Barbush of Harrisburg, Pa.; Bailee Packett of Montross, Va.; Jacob Pelz of Huntersville, N.C.; Benjamin Kavit of Yorktown, Va.; Krystle Brenneman of Virginia Beach, Va.; and Aleesa Cahill of Riverhead, N.Y.
Barbush’s show: “Abandoned in the Light.”
Packett’s show: “documentary series of photographs about adapting to life in America.”
Kavit describes his exhibition as depicting “relationship between the astronomical view of the visible universe and the obstinate view of our current society.”
Brenneman’s exhibit: a self-portrait project “exploring herself as a woman.”
Cahill’s work: “plays with peoples’ obsessions with their technological devices.”
