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.
