Hope you are safe and dry and your trees have remained rooted during our wild and wet start to 2023. Thankfully, the storms should abate by the middle of this week, just in time for the opening of a fun show called Connections: Art & Music at the Belvedere Tiburon Library's Art Gallery. Curators (and artist-musicians) Sandra Wolfson and Richard Rozen have assembled an exhibit of works inspired by or suggestive of music. In fact, each artwork will be accompanied by a piece of music you can listen to on your smart phone. I am delighted that my image "Terracruda"--a percussive assemblage of sliced-and-diced pictures of stainless steel wine vats in Italy--is included, and I'm humbled that it was chosen for the publicity poster, left.
The Thursday, January 19, opening will be held from 6 to 8 pm. The library is located at 1501 Tiburon Boulevard. The show runs to March 10 every day but Sundays.
In other news, my photo "Via San Donato" won an honorable mention in Black and White 2022, an online exhibit by the New York Center for Photographic Art. The juror was Dan Burkholder, a long-time photographer-hero of mine, which makes this honor especially thrilling.
