Alexander/Heath Contemporary is pleased to announce an exhibition by photographic artist Elaine Fleck showing December 2 through December 30, 2022.
Born in New Haven, CT, Mary Zompetti is a photographic artist living and working in Roanoke, VA who utilizes traditional and experimental analog photographic methods to investigate land, home and environment. Her recent cameraless photographic work explores the delicate and resilient nature of film emulsion exposed to environmental conditions, where she collaborates with light, weather and time to create unique photographs that embrace chance, mistake and deterioration. She received an MFA in Visual Arts from the Lesley University College of Art and Design and a BFA in Visual Arts from Northern Vermont University. She is a recent recipient of the 2020 Vermont Arts Council Creation Grant in support of new analog, cameraless photographic work, funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Photographic Resource Center in Boston, MA; the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum in Roanoke, VA; the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA; the Mjólkurbúðin Gallery in Akureyri, Iceland and the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, and in a virtual exhibition hosted by the Strange Fire Collective/Humble Arts. She has attended artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and at the Gil Residency in Akureyri, Iceland, and her work is also held in several collections, including the artist book libraries at Yale University and the Banff Center for Arts and Creativity. From 2004-2020, she ran a public-access community darkroom and digital lab in Burlington, VT, and she is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography at Hollins University.
