Keeping it Simple: Art from a Plastic Camera

Opening Reception: Friday, June 27, 2008 from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm in the ARTSWorcester Gallery at the Hanover Theatre, 554 Main Street, Worcester. This occasion is free and open to the public.

Since becoming involved with photography twenty-five years ago, Lora Brueck and Nancy Engberg have been attracted to alternative methods. When asked about their work, Brueck states, "Plastic cameras - Holgas, Dianas, and other ‘toys' -- have allowed us to express a quirky vision in a way that complicated high-tech equipment can't. Fuzzy images, light leaks, and double exposures are the norm with these simple cameras. Keeping it Simple: Art from a Plastic Camera expresses a sense of fun in the artistic process and that ‘mistakes' often become an important part of the effect."

This exhibition is funded in part by the Marie Lepore Program Fund.
