Frank Rausch – PSoP Photographer

Frank Rausch @ The Marketplace at East Falls.  Rausch is a member of the Photographic Society of Philadelphia; his dream like images of rippling water are easily recognizable as Rausch’s style.  The Marketplace at East Falls was the home of the first computer, ENIAC, but is now a great farmer’s market with a bakery, coffee, food court, craftspeople and vendors.  Rausch has prime display space with a great view of Laurel Hill – it’s so cool to go to a new space and find art made by friends.

 Da Vinci Art Alliance member artists Liz Nicklus & Regina Barthmaier with their entries to Heroines & Harlots.  DoN LoVeS Regina’s Industrial Barbie print with hand-pressed type collaged onto the frame – really beautiful, decorative and slyly subversive.  Liz’s Pandora’s Box is such a fantastic meme – DoN really wants to know what’s inside?

Heroines and Harlots:  Women in History  Annual Juried Exhibition  9-27 September 2009

First Prize, Jason Scuilla, Pallazzo with Spirits, Dance of Salome, etching.  As Dr. Deb Miller and H & H judge Kathryn McFadden of Fleisher Art Memorial pointed out, there are no women in the image, only the results of decisions made by women are portrayed in the etching.  DoN heard a statistic the other day that highlighted if more women were in positions of power there would be less conflict in the world.
