Cost: Free
Description:
The Salem Museum presents a reception for Kirk Carter's exhibit of photographs of pavement markings, overspray and bits of infrastructure on Saturday, February 7th from 1-3 pm.

Kirk Carter's photographs will be on display at the Salem Museum from February 7 - March 14, 2015.

"Underfoot Abstracts" examines how found lines, colors, textures, shapes and the evidence of events form abstract images, with the addition of the four edges of the photographic frame. Photographers make decisions about framing, selection and frame shape with every subject. Along the way we learn the accepted, normal compositions for the ordinary subjects. This project purposefully avoids documentation in order to revisit the fundamentals of what makes compositional order: How do overspray shapes balance a section of curbing or a random leaf? Further, is it even possible to make an interesting photograph of unintentional arrangements of paint and infrastructure?

Admission is free and all are welcome.

The Salem Museum is located at 801 East Main St in Salem, VA.
