“Looking Deep Within the Core,” Opens at Charlene’s Gallery Ten

Charlene’s Gallery Ten in Gills Rock will feature Sarah Aagesen’s photography beginning Saturday, July 3. An artist reception will take place at 3 pm with an artist talk scheduled for 4 pm. The free event will feature complimentary snacks and wine, fitting for the food-themed photography that will be on display.

Aagesen’s education combines elements of art and food, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts and taking up a job at the Washington Island Hotel, Restaurant, and Culinary School. “Food became one of my central inspirations when it came to art,” said Aagensen.

The bakery and the kitchen at the culinary school put out such beautiful food that Aagensen began to stop the chefs and say, “Wait, let me take a picture of that.” The latest work she will display at Gallery Ten is comprised of large photographs that zero in on close up details, colors, texture, line and compositions of patterns in food.

“This work represents my appreciation for food and all that it has to offer,” said Aagensen. “Not just for the taste, but for the brilliant colors, the fresh, organic shapes and unique textures.”

Charlene’s Gallery, open daily from 10 am – 5 pm daily (except Tuesdays), is located at 12625 Highway 42 in Gills Rock. For more information call 920.854.9907 or visit http://www.GalleryTen.com.
