Cig Harvey, a Maine-based British photographer, uses images and language to explore sensory experience and elevate the everyday. In her new work for the Baum Gallery, Cig Harvey: From Red to Violet, on view through October 13, the artist uses her family and the natural surroundings of Maine scenery to transform the ordinary world into an extraordinary, even surreal, experience. In addition to her gallery work, this residency will also feature her large-scale video projections, which will light up the night sky. Referring to her projections, she writes: “The current social unrest, political climate, and the virus intensified my urge to bring beauty into the community.”

Thanks to President Davis and the Athletic Department for their collaboration in showcasing this award-winning artist's work.
