Artist Talk with photographers Rick Schatzberg and Babs Perkins
Photographers Rick Schatzberg and Babs Perkins will be discussing the process and philosophy of their work on Sunday September 30, at 5:00 pm in the Norfolk Bistro. Dinner with the artist will follow. There is no charge for the talk, anyone who would like to stay for dinner should request a reservation for dinner in the veranda.
Babs Perkins is a photographer and writer from Norfolk, Connecticut. Her work focuses the natural environment, cultural documentation and preservation.
Over the last several years Babs has been on the road researching and documenting traditional food producers, including the farmers, shepherds, cheese makers and beekeepers of the Balkans. When returning from months on the road she retreats to the shores of myriad local bodies of water to wait for the light as a way to reenter the less hectic life at home. The work in this collection is a product of that time.
Rick Schatzberg’s photographs reflect his interest in exploring and describing places, which he sees as a combination of ethnography, imagination, geography, and memory. He is based in Brooklyn Heights, NY and Norfolk, CT.
As a migrant from a corporate career, Rick is engaged in his photography practice on a full-time basis. His monograph Twenty Two North, published in June 2015, won first prize in the “One for the Books” competition at the Ballarat Foto International Biennale 2015 (Australia). He is currently at work on a new series in Upstate New York.
