Eternal Landscape — The Great Marsh

Dorothy Kerper Monnelly

Dorothy Kerper Monnelly is heralded as “the Ansel Adams of the wetlands” by famed writer, scientist and naturalist Edward O. Wilson. Between Land and Sea: The Great Marsh is a traveling exhibit of stunning large format silver gelatin photographs evoking the beauty, mystery and fragility of an exquisite landscape. Monnelly’s images are spiritually inspiring and environmentally provocative. They illuminate the essential beauty of landscape; at the same time they are a call-to-action to protect this rapidly disappearing ecosystem.

The exhibit is curated by Camera Obscura Gallery and will be featured in Benham Gallery in June 2008. The show will be available for further travel in the Fall of 2008. Along with Dorothy Monnelly, Jeanne Adams, general manager of the Ansel Adams Gallery and author of the foreword for The Great Marsh, and Doug Stewart, contributing writer for Smithsonian Magazine who wrote the book’s narrative, are also available for presentations in conjunction with this exhibit.
