Opening February 20, 6-8pm

A studio jeweler, Marjorie Simon creates pieces which are formally playful, intelligently conceptual, and always aware of the body beneath.  These vibrant works draw their modern colors from vitreous enamel.  They grow from a tradition of botanical and floral forms in jewelry that dates back to antiquity, re-envisioned with a contemporary eye.

For FOTOFEST, Goldesberry Gallery welcomes local photographer Royce Ann Sline.  Sline’s photographs, simultaneously mysterious and playful, explore our urban surroundings in surprising ways.  These photographs turn their original subjects nearly unrecognizable, abstracting these everyday glimpses into plays of light, form, color, and motion.  Somewhere between painting and photography, Sline reveals and hides the secrets in the view next door.
