Ferrin Gallery is pleased to announce a solo show of photography by Jason Houston called “Family of Mine.”  The show features eleven large scale prints of moments captured at Houston’s family get-togethers between 2002 and 2007.  The images, although intimate and personal, are poignant reflections of relationships, traditions, values and family dynamics that are universally identifiable.  As Houston explains, “my photographs of family events are spontaneous, mutely observant, and never staged. Blood, love, and obligation draw us together in a place where worldviews mix, match, confuse, and clash.

Berkshire Community College’s art gallery at the Intermodal Transportation Center at 1 Columbus Avenue in downtown Pittsfield is featuring an exhibit by Karylee Doubiago now through Jan. 5.

Doubiago’s quilts are a mix of photography paints, dyes, threadwork and fabric manipulation. According to the artist, quilting has always appealed to her. “There is a sense of comfort, warmth and texture in traditional quilts that drew me in to working with fiber,” she said. Her current work focuses “on exploring the internal views of the human mind and the internal physical body landscape.”
