Barbara Savicky’s Photography Exhibit on Display at Winthrop Library and Museum

Special to the Transcript

Through May 14, the Winthrop Library and Museum will present a three-part photography exhibit by Barbara Savicky. The exhibit, entitled “Reflections, Perception, Sky and Water” depicts abstract and representational photography and will be in English and Spanish. The library is located at 2 Metcalf Square, Winthrop, MA.

“Reflections” exemplifies the amazing images of light and shadow around us reflected by everyday objects, whereby abstractions can look like real objects. “The reflections I’ve photographed appeared in the morning or afternoon, off of objects such as the top of a shampoo bottle, the face of an iron, or a printer cover. They appeared on walls, ceilings, or furniture, only a moment in time, as light changes rapidly. The reflective images may appear familiar to the viewer, ‘Is that a spaceship or a jellyfish’? That’s what makes these images so magical, humorous, and sometimes scary,” Ms. Savicky explained.

“Perception” shows the same object from different vantage points illuminating how one point of view can change to incorporate many points of view. “Our remarkable minds have the ability to perceive in many different ways, if we allow ourselves,” she noted.

“Sky and Water” depicts seaside images from the beautiful North Shore of Massachusetts. “Abstractions are also evident in what we see in reality,” she said.
