Photo Exhibit Opening: Losing Reality - Photographs by Ellen Jantzen

Opening Reception: Friday, July 13, from 6-11PM during the Let Them Eat Art Festival in Maplewood
Exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery is also open by appointment.

Ellen Jantzen's "Losing Reality Series," explores the alternate states of reality and the nature of personal loss. The series was inspired by events in her life - she and her husband moved from California to St. Louis to care for her mother-in-law who was succumbing to the ravages of Alzheimer's. "I became acutely aware of not only the aging process, but also the vagaries of memory and the sense of loss that permeated our lives here." Her series depicts how a person adapts to losses and how the body, mind and spirit are absorbed and transformed by that loss.

The opening will concur with the Let Them Eat Art Festival, Maplewood's tribute to Bastille Day. The event will feature live music and art demonstrations, performance artists, dog costume contest and more.
