Kurt Weston: Seasons in the Prayer Garden February 4, 2010

The Muckenthaler Cultural Center starts 2010 with a solo exhibition by photographer Kurt Weston. Seasons in the Prayer Garden will fill the main floor galleries with color impressions of garden flowers in spring, as well as vivid images of wild foliage shot in Oregon and Washington during autumn 2009.

Kurt Weston is a legally blind photographer who works in both
color and black and white. His precisely detailed, saturated colored images of garden flowers capture an unsettling individualism in each blossom. These almost other-worldly portraits bypass conventional ideas of nature photography by confronting the viewer with singular instances of the strangeness of beauty itself.
