SUMMARY:Sandra Maggio - My Untouched Images
DESCRIPTION:The photographic works of Sandra Maggio will be installed in the stacks of the Patterson Library- 13 WALLS from July 10 to September 11\, 2026 these 13 works will be on view to the public and for sale during regular library hours. \n“No matter how much one may love the world as a whole\, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it. Where we live and who we live there with define the terms of our relationship to the world and to humanity.” \n-Wendell Berry\, writer and environmental activist \n\nOver the years I have become a naturalist through my photography. I have found I have developed a laser focus on our world and how human interference wreaks havoc on our environment. What all of this boils down to is the journey of becoming a naturalist. I now pay attention to the life cycles of both flora and fauna. Studying the ecosystems creates better respect for nature and a willingness to teach and interact more cohesively with the environment. There is more than an artful passion for my photography. It now is embedded with thought and purpose beyond the image. My current work in progress is the future publication of an art book that features poetry and nature photography\, entitled Finding Peace in Times like These. The inspirational images included have inspired the poetry that I have authored. The purpose of the book is also to de-stress its readers by viewing peaceful serene beauty and being lulled into a sense of calmness and reflection from the verses.

SUMMARY:Joseph Grice - Reverence
DESCRIPTION:“My bird paintings are a tether between the natural world\, and human emotion. Each piece represents a moment in time along the plot of a story both untold\, and well known. Determinism\, bravery\, wisdom\, strength\, beauty\, and joy are among the traits portrayed in these anthropomorphic characters. They are reflections of ourselves\, displaying traits and lessons that we can admire and live up to. They represent a reminder that clarity can come from the smallest of moments\, and that we are all connected to nature in an ancient way. These bird portraits explore what it means to be truly human\, through the lens of ornithological illustrations.”
