BRAHM (The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum) has announced the opening of “Elizabeth Bradford: Time + Terrain”, curated by Carla Hanzal. The exhibition will be on view from August 13 to November 19, 2016, with an opening reception on Thursday, September 1st from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Museum. The event is free and open to the public. Guests are invited to enjoy hors d’oeuvres, beverages, and live music as they experience the works on display.
Elizabeth Bradford gleans images from the rural landscape surrounding
her family’s ancestral farm in northern Mecklenburg County, where she
lives. The expanded scope of her artwork also includes impressions of
countries she explores, as well as the wilderness where she kayaks,
hikes, and camps. “Slowly, over time, my attention turned to wild
places,” explains Bradford. “I found myself breathing deep sighs of
relief when I stepped out of civilization and into the forest … I have
come to believe that I am now painting the permanent—that wildness will
never be fully controlled.”
The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum is located at 159 Chestnut Street in Blowing Rock NC.
