Stone Poems
Last night, an opening reception was held at the I space gallery in Chicago for an exhibition of James P. Warfield's photographs, which focus on the relationship between architecture and landscape. Although I didn't attend, the exhibition is highly recommended by a friend who did, stating that the images are predominantly stone architecture, hence the show's title: "Stone Poems: Architecture and the Land". Warfield is the ACSA Distinguished Professor in Architecture Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Ortahisar, Cappadocia, Turkey, James P. Warfield.
In a quote from the news bureau at the University, Warfield says the photographs “illustrate how some cultures around the world have, through time, established principles of design that honor nature and how some cultures have found a balance between what they take from the land and what they return to it.”
The show runs until March 27 at I space, 230 West Superior, where paintings by Marie de Sousa are also on display.
