Virginia Beach based photographer, Victor Perrotti is a collector of light. He seeks to find connections between varied juxtaposed elements and attempts to capture those that take the form of oscillating objects yearning for an expansive environment. With an affinity for the natural world, Victor aims to challenge the viewer to reevaluate their presuppositions and feel what it is like to view things from outside. “I am building a new reality; a reality that is the viewers invitation to introspection.”

Heather Mitcham is a Virginia Beach based printmaker who finds the process to “nestle snugly into my busy life.” Heather refers to her cyanotypes and paper marblings as “cyano-experiments”. Her process involves a playfulness and unexpectedness that leads to a curiosity driven workflow that produces compelling, mysterious shapes and patterns that draw the viewer in. As chemical reactions occur and the cyanotype solution is exposed, moments become frozen within each print.

Hanna Kirby is a Norfolk based collage and cyanotype artist. Drawing from archival photographs, found imagery, textiles, and natural materials, Hanna reimagines and recontextualizes portraits of women from the past, whose names are often lost, and who’s presence endures through our shared experience of womanhood. Hanna finds the cyanotype process and its reliance of sunlight and time, a metaphor for memory and distance. Images, once static and fading, are revived through an act of care that echo’s the artist’s desire to bridge time and reclaim forgotten narratives.
