LightBox Photographic Gallery opens Julie Moore • Connected from 4-7pm on Saturday, November 9th.
LightBox invites you to share the night with LightBox Guild member Julie Moore who exhibits a unique collection of work in the LightBox Upper Gallery. The exhibit runs through December 11, 2024.
“In this work, I explore the intricate tapestry of connection through the symbolism of red threads and the intimate gestures we share with one another. Each element serves as a metaphor for the unseen bonds that link us, weaving together our experiences, emotions, and vulnerabilities within and across species.
The red thread, often associated with protection and connection, symbolizes the ties that bind us to one another, even across distances. It speaks to the idea that our relationships, though sometimes fragile, are woven with strength and resilience, reminding us that our shared experiences can create profound ties that transcend time and space.
Through this work, I invite viewers to consider their own threads of connection—what binds them to others, how they navigate their relationships, and the protective layers they create. The interplay of color, form, and gesture in my work serves as a reminder of the beauty found in our interconnected lives.
“Connected” seeks to illuminate the power of these invisible ties and to celebrate the shared experience that unites us all. May we honor the red threads that connect us, the lifelines that sustain us, and the promises we make that echo through our hearts.”
~ Julie Moore
Julie Moore has been creating her evocative style of art for just shy of a decade. Though she has no formal training in photography, Julie has felt captivated by the visual arts throughout her life. She was first inspired to pick up a camera many years ago while visiting Ireland in the company of a shaman, and she has been photographing the beauty of her world ever since. Perhaps surprisingly, she creates her captivating art primarily with her iPhone, visualizing, creating and processing her images with the camera she carries in her pocket. She also creates some of her images with her Holga, a medium-format film camera. Julie makes many of her prints using the polymer-photogravure process. Drawn to this alternative method of printmaking, she also employs other complimentary techniques during the intaglio printing process, such as chine-collé and à la poupée. About her work, Julie has said: “My images share the way I see the world, its soft tenderness and extravagant beauty, its agonizing loss and exquisite aging. I see the overlooked aspects of life and nature. There is small and precious beauty in the unseen, a part of everyday life that can go missing because it is not prominent, yet has much to teach us.” Julie’s work has been shown in a number of juried exhibitions in various galleries across the country.
Robert Adams exhibit Thalia continues in the lower gallery until December 7th. Thalia by Robert Adams has been released as a hard cover book and is available. Complete show info is on the LightBox website, http://lightbox-photographic.c…
