Against the Tide, a group exhibition of photography by Atlanta artists Suellen Parker, Sandra Lee Phipps, and V. Elizabeth Turk opens with a

 

reception on Friday, February 15 from 7-10 pm.

 

Swimming against the tide can be futile and exhausting; it is never easy–but surviving its rigors is exhilarating. Anyone who succeeds at it

 

emerges stronger–more confident and worthy of serious respect. Artists take up this challenge daily.

 

The three women whose work is in this exhibition have survived, and thrived, in a profession, and in a culture whose rules are skewed against

 

curiosity, exploration and assertive eloquence. In this work of Suellen Parker, Sandra Lee Phipps and V. Elizabeth Turk, photography is a

 

common thread–and the Declarative Voice is the shared language. Each explores a unique tangent of her political, or personal, or interior

 

life. These revelations are gifts of nuance and sharp clarity-–drawn from the life and work of three women who have mastered the poetic side

 

of alchemy.
