According to photographer Emily Drazen, her show “mostly comprises of the different colors and moods the island provides. Martha's Vineyard can be seen in infinite ways. No sky is ever the same - no morning will ever repeat itself. Each image has its own voice and mood - just like every moment.” Emily has been shooting film for 20 years. Despite the current digital world, she does not digitally alter her images - unpredictable tones and imaginary or unintended colors are released in some of her images through cross-processing film. Emily uses medium format cameras, 120mm film, and a half-pound Holga, “I love its antiquated and timeless feel while all this digital perfection surrounds us.” Emily fell in love with the island as “the perfect place for my peace, mind, and camera.” She continually expands her portfolio by traveling and shooting at other places, but states, “I will always be inspired by this island's magical light and sky.”Afterwards will be an art critique led by painting instructor and exhibiting artist Eva Cincotta. Artists of all ages and ability are invited to bring in 3-5 finished pieces or works in progress to discuss with Eva. This is a valuable opportunity for feedback for artists interested in joining the MVAA, or who simply wish for another informed, professional opinion about their work. Open and free to the public, please come to Old Sculpin if you are interested in hearing about all aspects of the creative process - technical, thought process, and critical eye. Old Sculpin is located at Dock Street, Edgartown, next to the Chappy ferry. For more info, 508.627.4881, www.oldsculpingallery.org.
