Here is a brief video (1:50) of the exhibit It’s much better in person! 

 

re/vision re/visited is a peer to peer review group at the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts, started during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The group includes Angela C. Brown, Bill Clark, David DeMelim, Deb Ehrens and Keith Prue. In the beginning the group met weekly on Zoom to stay connected, to provide an incentive to stay active, and find new directions to explore as travel restrictions halted most ongoing projects. Five years later, they continue to meet bi-weekly on Zoom with alternating in person meetings as schedules allow.

 

This exhibition revisits work first produced for a portfolio project at the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts in April 2021 but focuses on their shared experience. The exhibit includes new work and new ways of thinking about previously produced work, arrived at through sharing and collaboration make for a unique exhibition. The work presented reflects the ethos and vision of each individual member, made stronger by the support and feedback of all the participants.

 

ABOUT THE EXHIBITING PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTISTS

 

Angela C. Brown is a former corporate technologist who now spends her time as a photographer and print maker shooting whatever strikes her fancy and printing for herself and others in Providence, RI and Provincetown, MA.

 

Bill Clark  after a successful career of working closely with designers, keeps his studio outside of Providence, RI, where he works as a professional photographer and calligrapher. Bill has shown extensively in galleries and museums throughout New England and New York, and can be found in private collections nationally.

 

David DeMelim currently splits his time between his photography & design practice and his role as founder and managing director of the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts @RIPhotoArts. Photography is a compulsion, it comes as easily as breathing and is equally as necessary to his daily existence.

 

Deb Ehrens creates painterly and contemplative imagery using age-old artisan techniques and modern digital tools.The repeating refrains of form, color, and light are at the heart of her botanical studies while the echoes of an imagined past infuse her landscape imagery.

 

Keith Prue is a substantially self-taught artist, attending workshops with internationally acclaimed master photographer Ernesto Bazan, and studying for two years with the late Ben Lifson, one of the world’s most prominent photography writers and critics. Exhibiting online and showing in group exhibitions in the USA, Mexico and Italy, his photographs are held in numerous private collections.
