Digital images inspired by the Island’s agriculture are featured in the latest Masterworks exhibit.

Artist-in-residence Mari Hill Harpur is a businesswoman.

A keen lover of the outdoors, she has a parallel career in forestry and farming.

She was born in the US, and now divides her time between Montreal and New Zealand.

“Through my Bermuda photography, I wished to emphasise the Bermudian landscape in an unusual way by highlighting traditional agricultural practices through my skills with black and white photography,” she said.

“I combine my business interests with travelling and photography to produce images that capture typical land use and its positive impacts on the natural environment.

“These images are not of empty spaces. These are places where people and animals have cohabited for generations; places where their tracks and impressions are visible through searching.

“I enjoy highlighting traditional activities through artistic interpretation.”

Mrs Hill Harpur was the guest curator for the 2010 Bermuda Professional Photographic Association Biennial which was featured at Masterworks earlier this year.

Mrs Hill Harpur’s artistic style was based on fully-toned photographic silver images for 30 years. Five years ago she began to incorporate the digital format.

She has been taking pictures here since October.

‘Photography by Mari Hill Harpur’ opens at 5.30pm tomorrow in the Rick Faries Gallery at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art. The exhibit runs through December 22.
