The photo works are from the Connecticut River Series, which have been featured in two exhibition of this series in 2014 in the Pioneer Valley. In addition, there are three prints from a new series of works now in progress, with the working title: "Naked Landscapes". The work in both these series is part of a larger body of work taken in the late fall, winter and early springs, when the foliage is mostly gone. The colors, forms and interaction of light, water and trees, reveal their essential beauty in unique and subtle ways. Carl Nardiello is a professional photographer from New York, now living in Northampton. Archival pigmented inkjet prints, 17x22" image size, and mounted in a 20x24" frame with glass. All materials used in mounting are to archival standards.
