Bones in the Family

The Galleria in Stroudsburg, PA held an Artist’s Reception for their exhibition titled, “Family Bones” featuring the work of Jane Harris on Friday January 18th. A modest gathering of art lovers were greeted by a display of images reflecting the artist’s memories of the souls that touched her throughout her life. A dark nostalgia could be sensed among the impressionistic pieces which drew the viewer deep into their domains.

While the majority of the painted work contained images which could be easily discerned, there were a number of shadowy depictions of scenes which allowed the mind to wander deeper still into the painting as one attempted to decipher the details of the image presented. The exhibition also included three dimensional work which enhanced the pleasantly macabre flavor of the show along with a number of books containing pressed images. All together, the exhibit presented a display of works that would prove quite satisfying for those who like to venture beyond the ordinary.
