Pfundt Gallery, Doylestown Sponsored by Mary Lou and Andrew Abruzzese, The Pineville Tavern This exhibition featured more than 20 black and white photographs by Philadelphia area photographer Stephen G. Williams utilizing both the traditional silver gelatin process and the digital process known as Piezography. The exhibition combined recent images with work Williams made in the 1970s. Williams has been visiting the Shakers in Maine since the early 1970s, drawing spiritual strength from their habits of work and prayer, and artistic inspiration from their quest for harmony, economy, and perfection.
"My long involvement with the American Shakers is inseparable from my life in photography," said Stephen G. Williams. "I learned to use a camera and film competently as I documented the Sabbathday Lake community when I was a young man. It was my first attempt at blending art and documentary images." A L S O S E E
