Art
Laurels of a photo laureate
By LENNIE BENNETT
Published August 10, 2006
When we last checked in with Rebecca Sexton-Larson, she was deep into creating a series of photographs as Tampa's 2005 Photo Laureate. The series is complete and on view at the University of Tampa's Scarfone/Hartley Gallery, 310 N Blvd., Tampa, beginning Friday. Sexton-Larson uses a pinhole camera, creating dreamy, evocative images and backgrounds to which she adds paint, lettering, sketches and ephemera, often handstitched to the paper. Most are large format. For the city of Tampa, she documented old landmarks and historical sites that are often overlooked, such as the cemetery statue shown here. An opening reception Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. is free. The exhibition continues through Aug. 31. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Free admission. (813) 253-3333. - LENNIE BENNETT, Times art critic
