about

Architectural photographer James Florio is Grace Farms’ Artist-in-Residence, visiting throughout the seasons to build a body of work composed on large format film.

Encounter Florio’s creative process during this mid-residency presentation in the Grace Farms Library, which will temporarily transform to display his work, along with curated elements representing his Montana studio. Florio will share stories about immersing himself into the rhythms of nature to document the changing seasons at Grace Farms, in a conversation with Grace Farms Chief Strategy Officer and Founding Creative Director, Chelsea Thatcher. Complimentary tea will be provided.

Large format film removes barriers between the viewer and image to capture the world as it is: simple yet complex, imperfect but beautiful. During his residency, Florio explores how the River building—with glass walls that remove barriers between people and nature—transforms with the landscape across the seasons.

Doors open at 6 pm. Join us to peruse the exhibit and enjoy some tea and passed hors d’oeuvres prior to the program!

Visit the Grace Farms Library from Thursday, January 30 to Sunday, February 2 to view a presentation of Florio’s photographs displayed akin to the walls of his Montana studio.
