THE DAN SEKELLICK VISUAL ARTS GALLERY




Throughout February, we will be presenting Before the Light Dies: A Photography Show by Sara C. Hahn.
Sara C. Hahn is ecstatic to be showing her collected works at SLCA. Old and new will be shown, including a series shot at the Schaghticoke County Fair exploring the traditions, stories and diversity of that colorful landscape. A magical group of photos taken in Lilydale, NY, over the summer and published in Mother Tongue magazine will also be hung for the first time.
Sara C. Hahn is a visual storyteller and graduate of the SUNY Purchase film conservatory who is primarily concerned with preservation. After a stint in the film industry on both coasts, she returned to her roots in New York State and found a remedy to the generational loss that had plagued her working in digital formats: The Diana camera. The Diana is entirely plastic and shoots medium-format film with unpredictable, organic effects: light leaks, artifact imprints and chance vignettes. On the Diana, Sara has shot work focusing on customs, land and characters threatened by the homogeneity of online culture. She has also exhibited work independently and with The Yards Collective in Rochester.
The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. or whenever SLCA is otherwise open. Make a special appointment by calling 518-674-2007 or emailing us.
