Everitt Clark uses a large format film camera and processes all of his photographs by hand in his own darkroom so a single print can take many hours to produce, and each one is a unique labor of love. He uses this old-school method because it allows him to transform objects that are precious to their owners into precious objects for everyone.
Samuel Lacombe studied painting at Boston University with David Aronson, George Nick and Robert D’Arista. He is a painter involved in the issues of form, light, space, design and process, and for the past twenty years his paintings have centered on urban Americana graphic signage. Recently he has been working exclusively on small-scale gouache paintings. He loves to teach, and has been doing so most of his life. He currently teaches in the Painting, Illustration and Foundation Departments at Maryland Institute College of Art.
Samuel Miller is exhibiting three-dimensional, mixed media constructions of various buildings and scenes, often including vehicles and figures. Many of the constructions are contained in internally lighted boxes. One exhibit room is devoted to the exteriors of imagined cathedrals with an emphasis on light effects. The second exhibit room includes boxes containing portions of the “Keystone Hotel,” a hotel with a lighted ballroom, bar, gentlemen’s club, kitchen, mezzanine and guest rooms. The second exhibit room also contains dioramas of a tenement, an art studio, a tavern, a group of row houses and upper story dormers, all lighted and inhabited. He says, “From a technical point of view, I rely on my skills in model-making and casting, and my training in physics and optics to realize the various scenes. The pieces are, to some degree, theatrical; inspired in part by my work in set design and lighting.”
