Date and Time: Monday, September 8, 6:00pm

Light Work is pleased to invite you to our upcoming lecture, Pastiche, Performance and Portraiture (and the Imponderable Hazards of Publishing Photographs) presented by Gina Murtagh, Kim Waale, and Julie Grossman. This event will take place on Monday, September 8 at 6:00pm, in conjunction with Light Work's exhibitions Images of a Girl, Images of a Woman and A Due Voci, both featuring the work of Rita Hammond.

Freelance photographer, curator, and arts educator Gina Murtagh has worked with Light Work and Syracuse University Press to publish a book on Hammond's series Images of a Girl, Images of a Woman. Similarly, in 2003, sculptor and professor of art Kim Waale, along with associate professor of English Julie Grossman, published a book through Syracuse University Press featuring Hammond's work from the A Due Voci series. The presenters will discuss Hammond's work and the process of publishing photographs.

A nationally recognized artist and photographer, Hammond (1924-1999) was a dynamic and greatly admired presence in the Central New York art community. With audacity, intelligence, and humor, Hammond's work reflected on major figures from the history of art and photography. Images of a Girl, Images of a Woman offers a body of photographs from Hammond's long-time collaboration with Lynn Moser. The series juxtaposes images of Moser as a young girl in 1967 with images of her as a woman twenty years later, revealing the dramatic and intimate effects of time, reflected in both the subject and the perspective of the photographer.
