Saturday, March 31, 2018 12pm to 5pm
About this Event
Cornell University Mann Library, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
A collaboration between the Horticulture Section of the Cornell School of Integrative Plant Science (SIPS) and Mann Library, A Sweep of Light celebrates the intricate beauty of botanicals through the medium of scanner photography. Scanners can be used to produce distinctive, high-resolution images rich in both color and texture. A Sweep of Light features stunning, often large-scale works by photographer Ellen Hoverkamp, SIPS communications specialist Craig Cramer, students from Marcia Eames-Sheavly‘s course The Art of Horticulture, and Hortus Forum, Cornell’s undergraduate horticulture club.
The exhibit is available for viewing during normal library hours and is free and open to the public. A special reception will be held on Wednesday, February 21st at 4pm where guests will be able to view contributing artist Craig Cramer demonstrate his technique of botanical scanner photography.
