Today I'll be transporting 80 photographs to The Arts Project to set up my exhibit, "It's Only the Beginning..."
It’s Only the Beginning….
An Exhibition of Photography by John PalmerFebruary 24 – March 7
Opening Reception
Friday February 27, 5-7pmAfter exhibiting and winning prizes for his photography throughout Southwestern Ontario, John Palmer didn’t exhibit his work for several years. With this exhibit, he returns with a large showing of his photography, filling the entire gallery of The ARTS Project.
His recent work involves considerable macro-work enlarged to show new perspectives. The feature piece for which the exhibit is named shows the transition from death to life as the seeds of a flower mature to create new lives just as the flower itself dies.
Artist’s Statement:
The theme of new beginnings runs through life. We think, we study, and we phenomenologize about our existence. We strive to look forward in learning as well as emotionally , as we continue to grow. It is seen in our careers and career changes, our families and other relationships, and as we die but leave a legacy for others who carry on.
Or, to put it differently, as all good economists would say,
• Sunk costs are sunk.
• Costs emerge because we must make choices, and
• All costs are future costs
Here is another of the photos I'll be exhibiting, but not quite like this:
