(right) "Autumn Intricacies" acrylic on brown paper, 4 x 8.25" (Shelving Rock, Lake George) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Improvisations : group exhibition of new works inspired by Louis Armstrong Spring Street Gallery, 110 Spring Street, Saratoga Springs, NY July 6 - 26, 2011 part of LOUIS ARMSTRONG DAY (events from 4-midnight - posted at www.stoptimesaratoga.com I have created a landscape based on "stop-time" - a musical format used by Armstrong in which the rhythm is set by the percussion and then pulls back to allow space for the solo. It was difficult and exciting for me to abandon my usual "all-over" compositional approach for an image with a dominant section. After driving around for quite a while, photographing certain possibilities, I stumbled upon the perfect motif. Under the sharp rhythms of a bridge on Fish Creek, a vertical piece of wood measuring the flood level interrupted the very flat surface of the water, creating a dramatic set of swirls in an ever-broadening pattern. I painted it in two small versions, drew it and photographed it over several days before deciding on a combination of photography mainly within the bridge, which drops away in space and fades in detail, allowing for the solo of the water swirls.

"Spindrift II" (hybrid painting and photography 40 x 72" ) 2009 Details of the work are on the "in the studio" page Anne Diggorys hybrid work includes both painting and photography. She paints on top of printed versions of digital collages of photographs of paintings and the locations that inspired them. The introduction of photography extends the range of texture and detail in her work and at the same time gives the viewer a slightly unsettling experience of shifting back and forth between clarity and mystery, with the painted marks sometimes giving more clarity than the fact of photography. The exhibition includes imagery inspired by waterways in New York's Adirondacks as well as the tidal streams and shorelines near Sag Harbor on Long Island. The title of the show, Land-skip, is an earlier spelling of landscape. It is used here with a new meaning that focuses on the gaps or skips in the landscape and the shifts between ways of perceiving the space and expressing it.

"Spindrift I" (hybrid painting and photography 12x26") 2009 Anne Diggory’s new work involves many changes of direction. The streams in her paintings literally change course in hair-pin turns. Her new working methods, layering painting, photography and digital printing, allow her to take the stages of a single painting in very different directions in separate works of art. Diggory has always used a wide range of descriptive marks and textures. The introduction of photography extends that range and at the same time gives the viewer a slightly unsettling experience of shifting back and forth between clarity and mystery, with the painted marks sometimes giving more clarity than the “truth” of photography. The exhibition includes imagery inspired by the waterways in the Adirondacks as well as the tidal streams and shorelines near Sag Harbor. A graduate of Yale and Indiana University, Anne Diggory paints on location and in her studio in Saratoga Springs, NY. Diggory's work has been featured in Adirondack Life, American Artist and in the New York Times series on revisiting sites of the Hudson River School. She was recently featured on a public television special (Albany, WMHT) about painting the Adirondacks. A note about the title of the show: “Landskip” is an earlier spelling of “landscape.” It is used here with a new meaning that focuses on the gaps or skips in the landscape and the shifts between ways of perceiving the space and expressing it.

Anne Diggory's new work involves many changes of direction. The streams in her paintings literally change course in hair-pin turns. Her new worrking methods, layering painting, photography and digital printing, allow her to take the stages of a single painting in very different directions in separate woks of art. Diggory has always used a wide range of descriptive marks and textures. The introduction of photography extends that range and at the same time gives the viewer a slightly unsettling experience of shifting back and forth between clarity and mystery, with the painted marks sometimes giving more clatity than the "truth" of photography. Also included in the exhibition are paintings and drawings of Lake George, where Diggory has been researching the painting locations of nineteenth century painter John Frederick Kensett. The research will be published for the Metropolitan Museum. LINK TO LARGER EXHIBITION IMAGES (CLICK HERE)

Steve Parker and Anne Parker Diggory March 1-29, 2008
Spring Street Gallery 110 Spring Street Saratoga Springs, NY During the month of March the Spring Street Gallery in Saratoga Springs presents a two person show, "Healing after a Heart Attack: A Journey through Images." The show is a combination of works by a brother and sister, Steve Parker from Fairbanks, Alaska, and Anne Diggory, from Saratoga Springs, New York.
This exhibit presents Steve’s compelling story, in images and words, about dealing with a heart attack. He undertook three different artistic projects, each in response to a new crisis, each one helping him heal in some important way. Complementing his work are paintings and mixed media pieces that Anne created in direct response to her brother’s story. Additionally, her experience working on Steve’s labyrinth project influenced the three large landscapes on display. Steve's text and images can be seen at www.heartak.com -------------------------------------------- March 3-April 28th, 2007 96 Broad Street Schuylerville, NY 12871 518-695-5354 Affiliated Diggory, Johnson, Merancy and Park click here

Our Warming World :
SPRING STREET GALLERY
110 Spring Street, Saratoga Springs, NY
Anne's piece is a digital collage of a detail of one of her paintings and graphs of global warming. It is a layered reference to the complex interaction of emotional impact, observation and analysis in both science and art. Fallen trees can be seen as both beautiful and terrible. They can be an indicator of inevitable change in the forest - part if the natural process. But multiplied in effect from global warming, such raising water levels can be catastrophic.
