Friday, October 6: Missoula-based photographer Antonia Wolf shares her work. 5pm.

"I explore creation in all its forms:  human life, the natural world, the animal world.  I am drawn to vivid, vital colors and textures; the essences of places are what move me.  With my camera I strive to capture flashes of beauty wherever I happen to find myself, at home or abroad.  I have been asked why I concentrate so much on beauty when there are so many despairing images to convey.  My answer is simple.  It is the mystery I am always tracking with my lens:  beauty can be found even in the most agonizing, tragic places.  Each of my photos tries to speak a particular story, held in time.  Each of my photos—even the most otherworldly landscapes—tries to unearth a humanity that could easily have been overlooked. My work unfolds out of attention, precision, and love.  All of my art is an expression of my love for the world." -- Antonia Wolf
