Digital photography, sculptural elements, creative writing and spirituality collide in “Altared” at the Hardwick Inn’s Third Floor Gallery. For each of her intimate and highly art-directed portraits of women, which are printed on Belgian linen, Zolnoski has built a metal shrine with scraps she salvaged from metal shop dumpsters. She notes that most pieces are complemented by her own poetry, as well. In addition to being art objects, the altars are meant to be used, Zolnoski explains, and
describes her show as “a first attempt at addressing the sacredness created when I photograph women in nature.”
