BATH — The Bath Freight Shed Alliance will open a show of the evocative photography of Johannah Harkness on Aug. 16 from 6-7 p.m. The show will be open Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
Harkness has been enthralled since the age of 6 with the magic of the camera image and the power of creation. Her work ranges from literal portraits to narrative and allegorical works. Her recent work includes several images of the Freight Shed, which she first visited last summer.
“I was instantly drawn to the type of eerily beautiful light there that often seeps into and haunts venerable spaces … out of this came the inspiration for work that will be featured during the August Full Moon Dinner,” said Harkness. A private showing will be part of the celebration at the dinner on Aug. 20 (the dinner is sold out).
A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the Freight Shed. Please visit them at bathfreightshed. blogspot.com.
