“A MIME IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE”: This work by Richard Armington is featured in “Through My Eyes: Balkan Vignettes,” on view March 8 to March 30 at Gallery 14 Fine Art Photography in Hopewell.

Armington presents “Through My Eyes: Balkan Vignettes.” He said, “We are all travelers on this planet. Each of us treads a singular path traveled by no one else. Our paths intermingle and at times we share moments with others, yet we each perceive these moments differently. Every time the shutter is released I capture one of these moments. Each is a signpost along the path I travel.

‘Through my eyes; Balkan Vignettes’ is a bit of a walk through some of those moments in Slovenia and Croatia. They are not meant to be documentary, but rather observations along the way.”

Gallery 14 is located at 14 Mercer Street in Hopewell and is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4p.m. Appointments can also be made to view the exhibition at other times by emailing galleryfourteen@yahoo.com.

Gallery 14 will be offering an ongoing series of exhibitions throughout the year featuring individual members as well as guest artists. For more information, visit gallery14.org.
