Paintings by Pernie Fallon
Photography by Guy Giersch

Opening Reception
Saturday, May 14th 7-10pm

Out in the middle of New Mexico’s Valley of Shining Stone near Abiquiu, painter Pernie Fallon and photographer Guy Giersch came across a makeshift wood door propped up on a barbed-wire fence. Spray painted on the door was a joke, and on second thought, a dare, a challenge of sorts. It said simply “Door Into the Unseen.” As if the area’s supernatural scenery was not enough, the curious message on the door inspired the couple’s latest body of work.

The door opened the artists’ eyes, merging visions of land with perceptive interpretation. Inspired by the beauty of a terrain more suitable for aliens than cowboys, Giersch and Fallon responded with camera and pastel, venturing beyond what existed in the landscape and creating impressions full of mood and intensity.

Into the Unseen is an exhibition of visual poetry - a way to explain what is seen, not only on the surface, but beyond the obvious landscape - a look into the unseen.

On display May 14 - June 8, 2011.
