This Saturday, from 6 p.m. to midnight, Eva Whorley, a technology teacher at Cornwall High School, will have three photographs on display at Teran Studio, 119 Broadway, Newburgh.
The art and live music exhibit, titled “Vibes,” will feature polarized photography portraying everyday objects as something unrecognizable. Whorley’s work will keep her viewers guessing.
Will Teran, studio director, described his vision for the show as “hippy, dippy, under the influence of…It should be something way out there that nobody would get.”
Joining 30 other artists, Whorley found it difficult to narrow down her photos to three.
“I had more I wanted to put in,” she said. “I picked my craziest pieces, the ones [people] had the hardest time guessing. I used my students to make that decision.”
The photographs, titled “Mitosis,” “Super Nova,” and “Slinky Co.,” were taken with a Cannon XPI Rebel. A solarized filter was used to change the color spectrum. Whorley mildly edited the photos using Photoshop. The pieces were printed on metallic paper and coated with aluminum to give them an extra glow.
“I’m terribly excited and flattered and honored to be in there,” Whorley said. “You’re being shown with some of the best artists in the Orange County area.”
Whorley is familiar with the gallery scene, having shown off her work in numerous displays over the course of her 30 plus years as a photographer.
Her interest started at the age of 11 when she began toying with her uncle’s camera. Whorley was hooked two years later when she took a trip to Scotland with her grandmother, equipped with her very own 110 milimeter camera.
“It’s amazing where you can go with a camera in your hand.”
