The exhibition features black and white images through which Harbert explores human interventions with the landscape. He uses a 1960s plastic Diana camera to capture and distort his subject matter, evoking qualities of the surreal, the solitary and the not-quite-ordinary.
Harbert has lived and worked in Maine since 1988, photographing the state and its inhabitants. He has received grants from the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Community Foundation as well as an Emmy award in 2013. His photographs have been included in two motion pictures and exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Portland Museum of Art, Danforth Museum of Art, University of Miami in Florida, the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art.
The gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
