Originally slated to come off Bath House walls on Aug. 10, A Dialogue in Places and The Eyes of White Rock Lake will now remain in exhibition until Aug. 24. The viewing hours for the exhibitions are Tues-Sat 12-6 p.m.
A Dialogue In Places is a collaboration between local artist Mary Vernon and Lin Medlin, intended to incite conversation on landscape artwork.
The Eyes of White Rock Lake is a photo exhibition by locally known photographer and Greenspot manager Adam Velte. The photos are primarily centered around White Rock Lake, featuring the lake’s flora and fauna.
“I walk the trails and banks of White Rock Lake Park every day,” Velte said in a release. “It is my inspiration and my time out from work. The walks and expansive views alleviate daily stress. During my walk one day, I gave notice to the light around me. It seemed to have a wonderful glow to it as it was an early sunset in winter and the bare trees looked like fashion models standing on the shoreline. I took notice. I began to capture many scenes before me during this walk and the days after with each visit along the trails of the park.”
“Coming home with an inspiring energy and a collection of photographs to gaze upon, I decided to go all in and dedicate my time to shape my captures into an art form. Looking back to my past life as a young art student, I feel the time has come to create visual art once again. Now, I look ahead into each day for the opportunity to co-create with nature and my camera at the lake. The location has all I need: The water, the trees, plants, and birds. They all infuse into my images as the ingredients to the perfect recipe for creating something visually artistic and satisfying for me to enjoy and to share with others. It is my goal to continue this art form for as long as I can visit the lake and hold my camera.”
