“27 Mornings in Winter”



                 LightBox Photographic Gallery will host the opening of “27 Mornings in Winter”
                 with an artist reception on Saturday January 14h, 2012, from 6-9pm. This
                 body of work is a series of Palladium prints produced from stills of a short film
                 by the artist, Douglas Ethridge, of Tahuya, Washington.
         
              27 Mornings In Winter began as a short film, made to ward off those mid-winter blues by embracing each wet and gray day as an opportunity. As I was editing the film, I began to see unique moments within the dissolves of one scene to the next. In seeking to retain the contemplative nature of the film, I chose to render a selection of the resulting stills as hand-made palladium prints.”

     The film “27 Mornings in Winter” will be shown in LightBox upper gallery during the opening, and will be featured on Sunday, January 15th at 1pm with a screening during an artist talk about the film, the series of palladium prints, and the process involved in the evolution of the entire body of work.
