COMMON THREAD: Photographs by Theresa Segal
Appleton Museum of Art | College of Central Florida, Ocala
July 27th, 2024 thru January 5th, 2025
This exhibition is an anthology of photographs by Florida artist Theresa Segal. Locations throughout Florida as well as photographs of Baracoa, Cuba from the Appleton Museum’s permanent collection are represented.
The selected prints are from bodies of work that span the artist’s career. Subject matter ranges from the formal gardens of Vizcaya in Miami to the storage spaces of Lightner Museum, one of St. Augustine’s tourist institutions. The artist also explores her surrounding neighborhoods and rural landscapes with the intimacy of a place steeped in her identity.
When picturing Florida, images come to mind of sunny places filled with people. Spanning photography’s progression from film to digital, the images retain the photographer’s aesthetic, seeming like windows to a moment in time.
Segal was born in St. Augustine. She attended Flagler College where she later taught photography in the same classroom where she had discovered her love of the medium for artistic expression. A product of the south, Segal embraces the Gothic tropes of that a genre’s darkly romantic approach. While her photographs are often symmetrically composed within the clinical square of the medium-format, they have a timeless, surreal quality. Her subjects remain rooted and powerful due to her straight approach and unadorned techniques.
