CRS presents Wooded Tales of Phantasy, an exhibition of photography by Troy Stallman. This new series of photographs focuses on capturing the “vital force” of wooded environments, imploring the observer to interpret imagery through the waking lens of the imagination. We are called to remember the emotional connection that harmonizes the conscious space between our fantasy world, higher self, and interwoven spiritual channels of the natural world. Through this cosmic dialogue, we are offered a chance to reflect on how majestic life-death cycles create deeper meaning, balance and appreciation of nature in our lives, leaving us with a resounding impression that nourishes the soul and re-inspires the inner visionary.

The exhibition will be on view from March 14, 2020 – April 30, 2020. The public is invited to meet the artist at the Songs of Awakening Concert by Kristin Hoffmann & Friends on March 14, 2020 at 7:30 pm. A reception for ticket holders will follow the show. Tickets to the concert and reception are $20 and are available here:

ARTIST STATEMENT

“To capture and accentuate creations of terrestrial origin and transcend limitations of the mind”…This is my central focus as photographer.  Through my work I have the opportunity to energetically inspire others to re-connect with the mystery and harmony rooted in raw, majestic Earth.  In today’s techno-industrialized, fast paced world, our living planet’s boundless beauty and natural offerings often go unnoticed and unappreciated.   We forget to stop, look, listen, feel and take time to wonder at Her elemental perfection in awe.  My photographic crusade is to invoke a continued gratefulness and stewardship for sacred Earth’s infinite forms of expression, from the grandest scale to the subtlest detail.  Master painters throughout the ages have taken the time to appreciate and experience our world in this precious manner.
It is in us all to be masters…in our own ways.

I rise to the calling. — Troy Stallman (Rise of Troy)
