Our April show is one of the most unique ever. Local photographers, Mark and Cathy Pemberton have spent the last year studying and photographing eggs. According to Mark “Eggs hold a mystical place in the
psyche of most cultures and we wanted to explore this simple but interesting
subject. Many cultures have origin stories that involve the egg. Our photographs are a study of shape, form, shadow, light and texture. We
have also included a series of “whimsical” photos, just for fun.”
“What makes this show even more exciting is that we will
also be exhibiting, for the first time anywhere, the egg art of Shirley
Pemberton. We have twenty of her pieces displayed in two glass cases. For 20 years my mother created the most exquisite art works from
real eggs. Using everything from a robin’s egg to an ostrich egg she fabricated
works of art to rival the famous Faberge eggs of 19th century Russia. Today
she is 83 years old and no longer able to continue her creative endeavors. This
show is a tribute to her years of work.”
The show runs from April 3rd to April 27th.
A public opening reception will be held on April 6th from 2 to 5 pm.
