exhibition space
Local photographer Cordelia Bailey has a one-woman show hanging. Her work in digital photography is both realistic and manipulated.
“With “Tidy Kiosk” I was trying to add a bit of humor to a scene representative of Japanese culture,” Bailey states in a release. “I saw a kiosk on a train platform in Japan. It was so very organized and perfect. I was able to shoot the shot in perfect light. Later I manipulated the scene to add some little men polishing and cleaning.”
These and other works by Cordelia Bailey can be viewed until Wednesday. Her lecture Saturday, “Realism and Manipulation in Digital Art” is free and open to the public.
