Photolucida is pleased to announce that the Blue Sky Gallery exhibition committee has chosen Critical Mass finalist Cheryle St. Onge for this year’s solo exhibition award. Cheryle’s exhibition will open on First Thursday, April 1st and run through May 3rd 2015. If you’ll be in Portland for Photolucida’s Portfolio Reviews event, you’ll be able to view the exhibition at that time. We are so pleased to collaborate with Blue Sky to make this exhibition a reality.

Cheryle writes about her work:

“The photographs from Natural Findings began with the idea that our early foray into the natural world is not only innate, it is familial. When an older sibling offers up a jar of glowing fireflies, or grandmother puts a winter berry on your tongue, they are in a colloquial, familiar manner forging a path and beckoning to share the natural world. Natural Findings explores the curiosity and awe of our early grasp of nature: a paper wasp nest that appears dropped from Mars, the frog egg mass that on close inspection…becomes a gelatinous constellation of soon-to-be tadpoles. The photographs become both the shared means of a longer examination and the conduit of our own private recollection of nature.”

Stay tuned! The Monograph Award and the Artist’s Residency Award will be announced in the coming months.
