JURIED SHOW | OPPOSITES AND REFLECTIONS
“I thought about the word ‘profile’ and what a weird double meaning it had. We say we’re looking at a person’s profile online, or say a newspaper is writing a profile on someone, and we assume it’s the whole them we’re seeing. But when a photographer takes a picture of a profile, you’re only seeing half the face… It’s never the way you would remember seeing them. You never remember someone ‘in profile.’ You remember them looking you in the eye, or talking to you. You remember an image that the subject could never see in a mirror, because you are the mirror. A profile, photographically, is perpendicular to the person you know.”

SOLO SHOW | EQUINE FAIR
Thank you for joining us for “Equine Fair,” our show of the works of painter Judith Corrigan of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Her work has been exhibited throughout Connecticut, as well as in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and France.
“I have sometimes seen in the gaze of a horse, the inhuman beauty of a world from before the event of mankind.”
— Bartabas
Artist’s Statement
Growing up in the Catskill Mountains on the banks of the Hudson River, from a young age I gained a strong connection to the contours of the land and the rhythms of nature. As a child I spent summers on a farm in southwestern Massachusetts where domestic animals, horses especially, captured my young imagination, embedding in my psyche images of majestic size and graceful beauty. These early images, coupled with a love of music and dance, developed subconsciously over the years, giving rise to colorful, mysterious paintings of human figures and animals intertwined in the dance of life.
