Sally Moore: Human/Nature
Every semester I take my advanced black and white silver photography majors out to see what happens to be showing in some of Boston’s galleries. One of our most consistent stops is The Barbara Krakow Gallery. The work there is constantly excellent and of a world-class caliber.
This month did not disappoint. Sally Moore’s show Human/Nature is stunning, playful and intellectually provocative. I visited the gallery three days in a row, two times with my 2 different sections of photography students, and once with my 6 year old son who was particularly interested in the piece titled, Trophy.

She recently completed a large commission of eight sculptures for the Ames Hotel in Boston.
