Man Ray’s Rayographs at the Long Island Children’s Museum

Man Ray was a pioneer in a type of art known as surrealist photography. This type of art mixes the real world with dreams and fantasies.

Man Ray created photographs without a camera. He called them Rayographs. Can you make a cameraless picture?

Step into this Shadow Station, pick an object and place it between the lights and the projection screen. Look at the shape of its shadow. Add another object. Can you make the shadows touch and overlap? What does it look like?

The Art Gallery at the Great Mother Conference

The GMC is an annual event in which artists of any discipline gather for nine days of mythopoetic exploration in the woods of Maine. As director of the art gallery experience I laid out the works brought by participants, keeping story themes in mind, juxtaposing and grouping works resonating with each other, whether by way of parallels or contrasts in subject matter, palette, or medium, for participants to discover and explore. As the audience was limited to the conference community I rearranged work to echo what evolved in the community that week, often including work created during the week in ekphrasis workshops, and by placing works in different juxtapositions and environments outside the gallery, including the outdoors.
