2ND IN OUR CONTRAST SERIES: A GALLERY35 SOLO EXHIBIT!
Posted on October 29, 2022
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022
In traditional quilting, the phrase “Sunshine and Shadows” refers to arrangements of quilt blocks creating a strong contrast of light and dark colors, often used in wedding quilts to reflect the ups and downs of marriage.
“In my fiber art I often make use of traditional “feminine” skills in a feminist, progressive response to current events and to the climate crisis. But my fiber art is never exclusively political. My style often incorporates visual puns and a whimsical sensibility. It always reflects my openness to inspiration from unexpected finds in the urban environment and the sheer joy of playing with color and fiber.” —Jody Leight

OUR 3rd youth justice art show!
Posted on July 1, 2022
youth ages 14-17 use photography to explore concepts
of identity expression and identity oppression.
In a national climate where laws around individual rights are tightening, See You See Me offers personal perspectives of identity from youth rooted in the first Unitarian Universalist principle—the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This exhibition challenges viewers to connect with the deep impact of systemic oppression particularly on young, emerging identities and to consider the limitless possibilities of human potential that can be unlocked when we affirm that everyone has inherent worth and dignity.

If I could change anything in society around identity, it would be to erase the thought of judgment. Judgment creates so many negative things such as fear, self-doubt, racism, bullying, sexism, and so many others. If we were to erase judgment, I know for a fact that the world would be a much better place.
Ciela, 15
Photography is a great tool for social change because you can capture a moment with just the click of a button. because a photograph speaks for itself and everyone interprets them differently. because there is so much room for creativity and unique styles.
My identity and my creative work are so closely intertwined, my identity inspires my creative works and my creative works helped me discover my identity. I want to see change in the way our world is run. i want to see more underrepresented groups in positions of power so it is no longer old white men making decisions that barely even affect them. and I want to see change in the way people who are different than others are treated. and i want to see change in so many more things as well.
Logan, 15
Photography is a vehicle for social change because the images captured can be used to highlight the best and worst of humanity, justice and injustice, hope and despair. Images expose people to experiences and emotions they might not have otherwise.
Grey, 15
Photography is a great tool for social change because a photo captures a moment as it is. You can’t fake the emotions a picture preserves. With words you can stop reading, but you cannot turn a blind eye to a photograph.
Kojo, 16
Photography is a great tool for social change because it can bring a new perspective to a real life topic also portrayed in an art form.
One way my identity is incorporated in my creative work is that I like to incorporate myself into a lot of the pictures I take so that you know it’s my work.
One thing that would want to see change in society is the ability to love one another as a community.
Ozzy, 14
My identity is very important to a lot of the different creative work I do. Mostly because I think it’s very important to be able to see yourself represented in media and just in general. It’s so comforting to see people that are like you and see that they’re going through similar things. It’s very important to me to be able to give someone else that feeling of not being alone in the community that they’re in.
Sitota, 16
Photography is a great medium for social change. It may be used to inform us about problems in the present and also shine light onto the past. From this, we learn to meet needs and make the world better for those ahead of us, no matter race, religion or background.

More information about the artists can be found following the thumbnail gallery.
Bev Thompson has been behind one lens, or another, since her first Brownie camera, then thru her mom’s Polaroid. Later on, her 35mm cameras were all Pentax, from the very first model to the latest, used on 9-11; five of her photos now archived at The New York Historical Society and have been on tour to Arles and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.
She now shoots with a digital, an I-phone, and has caved in to using Photoshop to enhance her digital work. Her Way of Seeing the World in a frame is not in color, but thru dodging and burning the image in her mind’s eye.
To this day she still sees the light and dark in a frame – from a Black and White perspective – the techniques she uses for Silhouette Snapshots, and for her photos as a Dog Feature Writer for online and hard copy publications.
Bev’s Black & White photographic skills found their way to her hand. A Black and White Charcoal & Pencil, entitled “Sibling Rivalry,” of two dogs in a rumble, premiered at a special 2020 exhibition – The Dog Days of Winter – at the Museum of The Dog (MOD) in NYC on 101 Park Avenue. The museum maintains and archives the world’s largest dog art collection.
Marsha Peruo began exploring photography in the early 1970s when she was given her first SLR camera that used color print and slide film. Since she was limited by the number of photos on the roll of film, and had no easy way to edit the paper photo or slide, she challenged herself to format the final composition through the lens. Marsha still composes her photos on the screen of her iPhone 12 Pro, only rarely using digital editing software.
Marsha has been photographing shadows for many years. For her, outdoor shadow photography is about capturing a single moment as the sun moves across the sky, creating changing compositions of light and dark spaces. She focuses on the relationship between colors and value differences, and with the balance of shapes and lines on the picture plane.
Marsha began formal art lessons at the age of eight when her father took her to the Brooklyn Museum’s art school on Saturday mornings. She continued to be an “art major” from public school to graduate school, receiving an MFA in printmaking from Pratt Institute. Her work has been shown in more than 100 exhibitions and is in many private collections throughout the country. She’s been a member of many artist organizations throughout the years.
In addition to photography, Marsha works two-dimensionally in acrylics, watercolors, colored pencils, oil pastels, ink, and a variety of printmaking techniques. She enjoys combining different media in one picture so that the process is more challenging and the result is a unique visual statement.
