Photographer Nancy Grace Horton agreed to be a featured artist for the "Performing Arts, by Visual Artists Exhibition," May to August, at the Gallery at 100 Market in Portsmouth. While digging through her archives she headed to the space itself for ideas and that inspired a site-specific project; the first for both artist and venue.
"When you're making it for a specific place it only makes sense to consider the (area) while creating the work, especially if you're a photographer," says Horton, who has snapped pictures for area theater and dance companies for decades and is the official Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom photographer. "It was inspiring."
Horton's narrowed her exhibit to female images. The collection is still "fluid," she notes — but will include photos "that speak to each other," and at least one oversized triptych. "Working with the space ...; hopefully will make for a stronger statement and for stronger viewing." (Jeanne McCartin, Spotlight, Portsmouth Herald, April 8, 2010)

In the Spring of 2006, six American photographers journeyed to Ghana to document that country on the eve of its fiftieth anniversary of independence. Their effort was inspired by the work of master American photographer, Paul Strand, who documented Ghana at the moment of its independence in 1963, at the request of Kwame Nkrumah, the country’s first president. Strand’s book, Ghana: An African Portrait, was published in 1976, a year after his death.
The work of these six photographers; Peter Randall, Nancy Grace Horton, Barbara Bickford, Gary Samson, Charter Weeks, and Tim Gaudreau, all of whom live in and around Portsmouth, NH., was published in a book titled, Ghana: An African Portrait Revisited in 2007. The book also contains an essay by Abena P.A. Busia, a faculty member at Rutgers, the University of New Jersey, and daughter of a Ghanaian prime minister.
Addison Woolley Gallery of Portland, ME., in collaboration with A FINE THING: Edward T. Pollack Fine Arts, and the Museum of African Culture, both also located in Portland, is proud to present an exhibition of 42 photographs from the book. A complementary exhibit of Ghanaian art and artifacts will coincide at The Museum of African Culture, 13 Brown St., (207) 871-7188.
