The Vision Changes – The Eye Remembers

The Vision Changes The Eye Remembers Exhibit

_________________

Later this week I’ll be making a trip back to Minnesota where I attended graduate school at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. For many years while I worked on my Masters in Art History, I assisted with planning and hanging quite a few exhibitions for the Art History Department. The tables have been turned, however, and I am honored to be sharing with you all that some of the photographs I’ve taken on the Amalfi Coast have been included in the exhibit The Vision Changes – The Eye Remembers at the University of St. Thomas. The exhibit opens this Friday, March 4th, and runs through May 23rd.

It was exciting to think about an exhibition from the artist’s point of view rather than as a curator, and I loved the challenge of selecting photos that embodied this theme of visual change and memory. You’ll spot one of my photographs of Amalfi in the poster above, and others selected for the exhibit include scenes from Cetara, Amafi and photos taken before and after the flood in Atrani last September.

Next week I’ll share more photos from the opening reception and the exhibit. I’m looking forward to seeing my good friends in the Twin Cities this week! Many thanks to the Art History Department at St. Thomas for including my photographs in this beautiful exhibition!

    Laura,

    Congratulations on the exhibit. Looking forward to seeing photos of the exhibit. Come on down to Iowa and visit! I’d like to talk to you sometime about maybe teaching my retreat in Ischia or Amalfi in 2012

      Thanks so much, Lenora! I’ll be sure to put some photos up next week from the exhibit. I used to drive through Iowa a lot on my way back and forth between Minnesota and Nebraska, but since I sold my car I usually fly now. I’d love to chat about your retreat, and I’d be happy to share any information that would be helpful about Amalfi or Ischia. I’ll be back in Italy in March and back to my normal schedule. Perhaps we could chat on Skype then? A presto! 🙂

    Laura,

    I will be in Minneapolis this weekend and look forward to visiting your exhibit. My girlfriend and I (she is accompanying me) will be visiting Sorrento and the Amalfi coast in May of this year and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to get a feel for the area through your work. We are both anxious to experience this wonderful piece of Italy.

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning.

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
