Selected for the exhibition is "Forgotten No. 3" from the Forgotten - Series II.  "Forgotten" depicts a World War II U.S. military base in East Greenland whose scattered fuel drums continue to leak more than a half-century later. This second series integrates a stylistic technique that merges low-key, historic-appearing black & white photographic style with contemporary bleeding-edge-color to metaphorically remind us of the cleanup that remains. The exhibition runs April 24 through June 5, at the Sohn Fine Art Gallery in Lenox, Massachusetts, with an artist reception scheduled for Saturday, May 7, from 4:00 - 6:30 pm. Further details of the gallery and the show may be located at their Web site at www.sohnfineart.com and also in their press release.
 

Forgotten #3"Forgotten" is a portfolio of images that depict an old abandoned World War II U.S. Military Base in East Greenland, that is yet, to this day, to be cleaned up. The fuel drums continue to leak over a half-century later, reminding the viewer of the lingering destructive cost of war. The digital technique used in this series metaphorically combines the historic black & white photographic style with the contemporary color edge-bleeding technique to represent the lingering passage of time.
