SUMMARY:Nature Portraits: Works by Cathy Leaycraft
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:“I am a landscape photographer. There is a long tradition in 
 the\nportrayal of landscape. While I am rooted in that tradition\, my\napp
 roach is not traditional. The unusual appearance of my photographs\nis cre
 ated by the use of a glass sphere. I do not directly photograph\nthe lands
 cape. Put simply\, I use a hollow glass ball. It is about\ntwelve inches i
 n diameter and made of clear blown glass. The images\nare created by inser
 ting objects into my glass sphere. These objects\nthen find themselves sur
 rounded by layers of imagery (distorted\nlandscape beyond and beneath the 
 glass). When doing a photo shoot\, I\nset up my “glass studio” on the 
 ground\; I insert my subject\, and\nbegin exploring potential images. I mo
 ve my body and camera around\nwhile looking through a viewfinder. In this 
 work\, I have shunned\ncomputer manipulation in favor of manipulating ligh
 t and reflection\,\nbefore it reaches my camera.” Cathy Leaycraft has be
 en photographing\nfor over 30 years. In 1976 she moved to Baltimore\, Mary
 land\, where she\nresides today. At that time she was working with other a
 rtists\ncreating video documentaries. This led her to the study of still\n
 photography\, which she started at the University of Delaware and\ncontinu
 ed at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Today she uses\nreflected and
  refracted light to create a unique viewpoint before she\neven snaps the s
 hutter. Her companion on this journey has been a glass\nsphere. Leaycraft
 ’s work is held in many public and private\ncollections including the Me
 tropolitan Museum of Art\, MOMA\, and the\nBaltimore Museum of Art. Venue:
  Rehoboth Art League.
