Gallery Sitka/Shirley Announces
Metallic Photographic Prints Exhibit by Dawn Haley Morton
Opening Reception: Sunday, Dec. 10, 2-4pm, Open to all
“Otherworldly”, Dawn Haley Morton, metallic print, 8”x10”
Shirley, MA, November 29, 2023 – Gallery Sitka announces its latest exhibition by photographer Dawn Haley Morton which runs December 10 through January 1. All are welcome to a free reception with the artist on Sunday, December 10, 2-4pm at Gallery Sitka, 2 Shaker Road in Shirley.
In this collection, Dawn steps into the metallic print realm where her images materialize in seconds after hitting the metal. The painterly compositions become soft and rich, while the realistic, crisp subjects achieve three-dimensional depth. The show celebrates the metallic print process as a creative player in ways that the artist hopes further showcase her vision in this human + medium collaboration.
Ms. Haley Morton, whose studio is based in Lunenburg, MA, has been a photographer since her teens. She states, “Capturing the unexpected day-to-day in documentary style is sheer joy. Snapping a moment out of time that can never be replicated is a visual treasure. My style is represented in the blending of texture, color, humor, and awe of my subject matter. I enjoy capturing a moment that evokes an emotion.”
Gallery Sitka owner, Tamar Russell Brown notes,”Dawn Haley Morton is one of the few photographers we carry. She has been with us since the gallery’s inception, along with her husband, painter Dug Morton. Dawn’s work is fun; she sees what many do not and would not see. She has such an eye! She also is very skilled with editing and post-production. We are thrilled she came out with an interesting new collection just in time for the holiday season.”
