In this series of paintings, doors and windows become personal imagery. Within the richly painted rooms, spaces are charged with energy creating a sense of presence. These are places of solitude, reflection, memories, and desires. Through the use of inverted perspective, the viewer is invited to enter. "These are houses where hide and seek is played with color, time and space," says the artist.

Polaroid Transfers/Pigment Prints by
TED MALOOF

Exhibition Dates: September 16 through November 4, 2005
Opening Reception: Friday, September 16, 2005, 7-9 PM

This exhibit consists of pictures taken in the Okefenokee Swamp and processed via Polaroid image transfer techniques. The pictures were shot from a canoe while traveling on reserved canoe trails in the Okefenokee where one is immerged in a rich, visual environment, with subtle but exquisite beauty that is constantly changing. "Image transfers gave the look and feel I wanted, " explains the artist. "The resulting images more closely express the feelings I experienced when taking the picture."

This exhibit is in conjunction with the annual city-wide event, "Atlanta Celebrates Photography"
