Luci Westphal

On Wood / Of Wood - St. Pete ArtWalk Exhibit
2022-11-12 17:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | 4 Gats Gallery, 521 27th Street S, Saint Petersburg, Florida, 33712
One-night-only exhibit at 4 Gats Gallery during St. Pete 2nd Saturday ArtWalk.
This special installation features photography work by Luci Westphal especially curated, and partially even created site-specific, for this unique gallery in the middle of the Warehouse Arts District’s roundabout that is home to the wood sculpture artist Randy Colbath.
The exhibit is divided into two different views of celebrating wood as a photographer: photography printed on wood and photography of wood, i.e. featuring images of trees.
The photographs printed on maple wood are the beginnings of a larger series called “Surviving or Thriving?”. The images show wildlife and plants in an active context with urban and industrial backdrops, some of which even enhance the ability for nature to thrive.
The photographs of wood are especially created for this event and location: large-scale prints of some of the trees that have impressed Luci the most.
