Battlefields

Darrell Laurante, a reviewer for the Lynchburg News & Advance,
wrote:
"This body of work takes as its subject the landscapes and
monuments of the Civil War. Barbara Pohl bridges a gap between the
present peacefulness that currently inhabits landscapes, and their
violent history. Her intent is to create a sense of walking into, and
clearing away of the cobwebs of time from the sites, and to illustrate
a relationship between past and present in the same place.
Using a large format camera, she produced multiple exposures which
were overlaid, like a collage, in the camera. The finished images are
displayed with terse textual notations indicating where they were shot
and how many exposures were taken.
Barbara Pohl has constructed photographs of remarkable resonance.
Fortunately, these photographs have titles, because some of them defy
description. Their effect is striking."
"Barbara Pohl - Civil War Battlefields" runs through
Sunday, April 25th, 2010. Green Lantern Studios is located at 261 High
Street, Mineral Point, WI 53565. Studio hours are Friday - Sunday from
11am to 5pm, and by appointment 608-987-2880 or mail@greenlanternstudios.com.
