Exhibit at Garrison Art Center blurs boundaries
Karlyn Benson, director and curator of the Matteawan Gallery in Beacon, has selected six photographers whose work pushes beyond traditional photography for an exhibit at the Garrison Art Center starting Saturday, May 21.

The exhibit, Chemistry: Explorations in Abstract Photography, includes the work of Ellen Carey, Jill Enfield, Anne Arden McDonald, Amanda Means, Wendy Small and S. Gayle Stevens. The subject matter of the works is the process itself, which compels a viewer to question what makes a photograph a photograph. Is it a drawing, is it a painting, is it a photograph? Some of the work blurs that line to the point of near non-existence.
