Jeanette May’s photographs are included in the group exhibition, Altarpieces, at Manifest Gallery, in Cincinnati, OH. “Curious Devices: 35mm Camera” was a finalist for the grand jury award. Exhibition dates: November 8 – December 6. 2024.
About the exhibition:
An altar is a place for worship, for ritual, for sacrifice. While functionally a table, an altar is holier in intent—the difference comes from dedication. Objects on an altar are carefully arranged and used for sacred purpose. An object placed on an altar becomes an icon.
The objects in a still life are similarly arranged, imbued with meaning by artistic intent. If a still life is an altarpiece, to what deity is it dedicated?
