Hera Gallery is pleased to present Intervals, a solo exhibition from Barbara Pagh. We invite the public to join us Saturday, October 17th from 6:00 to 8:00pm for the opening reception and to the artist panel discussion on Thursday November 5th, at 7pm.

Barbara Pagh will be exhibiting a new series of prints, “Intervals”. Each one-of-a-kind print takes a traditional landscape view with a horizon and combines it with details of the same site in a panorama format. Using Photoshop to alter the images she prints on various Asian papers from photolithographic plates. The images are then cut and collaged onto a 10”x28” piece of handmade paper in a composition of vertical slices. The landscape images are from Rhode Island, Maine, Oregon, South Carolina and Brittany (France).

She will also be exhibiting a series of prints and collages on 12”x12” paper, displayed in a grid format. Many of them are pure collages of handmade papers with no printing, harking back to her minimalist roots. These evoke seascapes, without being literal. Interspersed are square details of landscape and a close-up image of water printed in varied colors.

Pagh’s solo exhibition Passages was on view in the Main Gallery at the University of Rhode Island in 2009. In 1997 she exhibited at Keimyung University in Taegu, South Korea.
