Drinking Gourd Gallery: Hanna Gelwix: A Series of Odds and Ends exhibition

Hanna Gelwix: A Series of Odds and Ends is a solo exhibition featuring photographic prints that were created using the techniques of double exposure and long exposure. The works included in this exhibition use objects from nature and their surrounding environments to show the versatility and intricate beauty of each specimen, with the goal of creating a dreamlike sense of peace when viewed. All pieces were created by combining everyday objects and natural elements, using double exposures and long exposures, creating abstract works that bring a sense of peace and contentment when viewed. The works aim to capture fleeting moments, emphasizing the subtle interplay between light, space, and emotion.
