Artists on the Loose art display includes photographs on glass by Virginia Webb (Contributed Photo)Virginia Webb’s series of photographs on glass started when her husband cut milkweeds from their yard and laid them on her granite countertop. Nature took it from there. A pod full of seeds opened in front of her eyes, and Webb grabbed her camera. She took pictures for the next five weeks.
“I didn’t have to do a thing, but just watch,” she says. “It looked like a universe to me. It looked like dancers.”
Webb’s milkweed series hangs among dozens of pieces at the Artists on the Loose location at 1401 Williams St.
The show features art from 11 local artists including Terry Rafferty and Cindy Procious, whose artwork hangs in national galleries.
The group includes 10 painters, one photographer and one woodworker. It’s made of independent artists. They’re not a co-op or a gallery. But they share studio space, says oil painter Ann Currey.
