‘GATHERED’
Always within reach of her camera, Lucinda Bunnen keenly observes to seize a decisive moment — like when clouds in the sky seem to replicate the cotton balls in the fields of the Mississippi Delta on a cool fall day, or when a cow stands perfectly still in India near the banks of the Ganges River. Her formal portraits and snapshots have included high-profile figures — Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Coretta Scott King, Bobby Dodd.
But for her most recent project, “Gathered,” the renowned photographer found inspiration inside the walls of her Buckhead home.
The 79 photographs capture a wide variety of objects — a deer head-shaped piece of wood, two painted pipes by a pipe fitter in Milledgeville, a 1960s baby doll carriage. The pieces include work by local artists. Some of them hail from her travels around the world. Others were discovered close to home while taking a walk with her dogs. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday. Exhibit runs through Oct. 31. Free. Mason Fine Art Gallery, 415 Plasters Ave., Atlanta. 404-879-1500, masonfineartandevents.com.
