FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Liz Cockrum's
"Sirens" Showing at the Eric Phleger Gallery
Artists' Reception is Saturday,
June 27, 2009 from 6-8pm
The Eric Phleger
Gallery is proud to announce a new show of photographs
opening Saturday June 27 and continuing through Saturday
July 25, 2009. Jacques Garnier will be showing a body
of work entitled “Passages” and Liz Cockrum
will be showing her new work entitled “Sirens”.
The artists’ reception is Saturday June 27, 2009
from 6 until 8pm.
“Sirens”,
Liz Cockrum’s series of photographs celebrate
women in modern society who surf.
Through portraits,
landscapes and details she explores a little-seen side
of surfing and attempts to focus the viewer’s
attention on the individuals who are an integral part
of this unique culture. Born and raised in Chicago,
Il. Cockrum earned her BFA in photography from Columbia
College in 2006. She recently moved to San Diego bringing
with her a sound technical expertise as well a fresh
perspective on surfing.
Painterly, sparse
and often formal, Jacques Garnier’s transcendent
photography documents the passage of time. With intuitive
framing, the images from “Passages” convey
a sense of history and space left to its own demise.
Fragile yet bold, these intimate details of interior
landscapes reflect an era where the past is pushed into
the background, where shadows and memory replace a presence
that is no longer here. What is left is a world of “becoming”
that has not yet found its way into the future.
The Eric Phleger
Gallery is located in downtown Leucadia at 828 North
Coast Hwy 101. The gallery is open Saturday’s
from 12 until 5 pm and by appointment. To schedule an
appointment or to contact the gallery please call 760-436-1440.
