The Graveyard Shift

Guest curator and artist Tony Hochstetler invited fifteen nationally-known artists to submit work on the subject of cemeteries. In no manner intended to be macabre, this exhibit examines the artistic beauty found in aged headstones, in once-pristine cemeteries given way to over-grown fields of grass, and in rows of years-old markers inscribed with names of persons perhaps no longer remembered. In some instances, it’s an unusual place or circumstance that confronts us with both the melancholic and the curious. Pieces in this exhibit include a variety of media including oils, pastels and photographs.
