PORT ANGELES — There will be a reception for “Up the Down Staircase” from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday during Port Angeles’ downtown Art Walk.
The reception and the exhibit will be at Harbor Art Gallery, 114 N. Laurel St., Port Angeles.
The exhibit will feature the photography of Carol Marshall. The images in it explore passageways and transitions both literal and symbolic.
“I love the sense of movement in this collection,” Marshall said. “It’s about the journey as much as the destination.”
Marshall has been making images since 2006, including landscapes, architecture, food and editorial photography. She attended the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, returning years later as a career training assistant to help other photographers develop their vision and skill.
The small details, such as the play of light on a surface or the suggestion of motion in a stairwell, often inspire her art.
“The human eye is able to take in more detail than the camera is capable of, and due to that limitation, the artist is tasked with producing what they were seeing at the moment the shutter was snapped,” Marshall said. “Therefore, in some ways, my photography is the art of creating an illusion. ”
“Up the Down Staircase” will be on display from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays throughout July.
