Re-examining Work in Old City

Carmina’s Dessert, lime • photographic emulsion with applied color on d’arches, by Lorraine Raywood

Photographer/artist Lorraine Raywood, freshly returned from her 13th ride for Anchor House (home for runaways) in Trenton, has a solo exhibition coming up next month at The Muse Gallery in Old City, Philadelphia. For this show, she’s decided to re-explore images from earlier work using photographic emulsion and other media to adjust, enhance, and alter the surfaces. The ‘sneak preview’ of the work is intriguing.

The show is up from September 1 through October 1, 2009, and the Opening Reception on Friday, September 4th, 5 to 8pm, coincides with Philadelphia’s rocking First Friday festivities, so you can make a night of it. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 to 5:00 PM.

The MUSE Gallery is, in their own words, “...an artist-run gallery dedicated to exploring individual visions in shaping the world as we experience it...(that) affirms the role of the arts in the community: to provoke thoughtfulness, stir the senses, awaken awareness of beauty and to lead us beyond ourselves.” (I love a good vision statement!) It’s located at 52 North 2nd Street, between Arch and Market Streets, in Philadelphia. Their phone is 215-627-5310 and email is
