Ruralgia

My friend Nancy Forde has a fantastic series of photographs on display at Death Valley’s Little Brother in Uptown Waterloo. She had the opening Thursday night to a packed house. The collection of rural images were all printed on canvas and blown up huge, some as big as four by five feet.

I first met Nancy at one of Foto:RE’s Third Thursday events and have been following her work ever since. She has a wonderful style, often depicting rural landscapes, which is what Ruralgia’s theme is. I enjoyed listening to her speak of the images and how they related to her time living in a country setting, despite the fact that it was during a period of sadness in her life. Her statement for the show is beautifully written; you can feel the emotion from both her words and her art.

If you have any free time, I highly recommend you check out Nancy’s work. DVLB is the perfect venue for a show because you can eat, drink, relax, and take in some stunning artwork.
