"The Stolen Ninety-Nine"

(Rockport, ME) An art exhibit featuring works from Camden-based photographer Jim Nickelson as well as the students at Peopleplace Cooperative Preschool will be on display at the Rockport Public Library through April 30th. For this project, Nickelson photographed images of the objects and space that the students at Peopleplace interact with on a daily basis. Nickelson’s photographic essay was inspired by from the Reggio Emilia concept of the hundred languages of children. Peopleplace students created paintings inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s Calla Lily painting as well as sculptures based on Louise Nevelson’s work for their exhibit.

Jim Nickelson is a professional fine art photographer and printer and focuses primarily on nature, landscape and night photography. He finds most of his photographic opportunities and inspirations in Maine’s stunning mountain and coastal landscapes, but found inspiration for “The Stolen Ninety-Nine” project at Camden’s Peopleplace Cooperative Preschool. "The Stolen Ninety-Nine" photograph essay can be seen in its entirety at www.jimnickelson.com and by clicking on the princess image.
