Between stillness and action

They're in the "MOTION, MEMORY'' show at Brickbottom Gallery, Somerville, Mass., March 12-April 11

The gallery notes that this fascinating show  presents the work of three artists whose work is a hybrid of photography, painting or printmaking.

"Although photography’s origin is that of freezing motion (and time) as a way of preserving memory, each of these artists explores how photography, when altered or extended, can allow motion to partially wipe away the memory of a place or event. They all owe a debt to Einstein’s notion that time only occurs when change happens; if nothing changes, time does not pass. These three artists try to catch the moment of transition between stillness and action.''

"How often we want to freeze time and how often to speed it up!'' Of course, the desire to freeze time tends increase with age.
