Event Series The Mute Stones Speak

The Mute Stones Speak

Dare Arts Center 300 Queen Elizabeth Ave, Manteo, United States

December through January, The Dare County Arts Council Vault Gallery will showcase photography by Gregory S. Bucher. The Mute Stones Speak features color and black & white photographs drawn from Gregory's corpus of images from the great East Coast American cemeteries. The exhibit explores Gregory's analytic interest in how a monument was put together and how it’s coming apart. His eye is drawn by monuments that are astonishing, ironic, or unintentionally amusing, and the selection here is marked by a strong sensitivity to the juxtaposition of beauty with decay.
