His goal was to use traditional means to portray those whose roots were traditional in this area. Lyman Hafen, who wrote the text that accompanies the exhibit, said of the people photographed. “…they simply represent the kind of people who have made this place what it is. And this place is what it is because of people.” In effect the exhibit stopped time for a moment to consider who and what this community was at the turn of the century. You will enjoy seeing these portraits of your friends and neighbors from our community. Working Wonders: Photographs by Michael Plyler with interviews by Logan Hebner In 1999, fourteen senior citizens, still working at the time of their photographic session, were captured by Michael Plyler with accompanying interviews by Logan Hebner. Michael Plyler wrote about this project—“This age group is at the tail end of a generation that has witnessed a century which arguably has brought more profound and monumental change than any other century before it in the history of man. These people have seen the end of the horse drawn era, the coming of cars, airplanes and jets, the war that the ‘war to end all wars’ couldn’t end, television, men on the moon, computers, the end of segregation…I’m thankful that Logan and I have played a small part in bringing these treasures to light.” Scapes: City & Land This marvelous exhibit and grouping of images, is 'scapes of St. George and the surrounding area by such artists as Robert Shepherd, Donal Jolley, Diane Turner, Eric Dowdle, Rick Wheeler, Warren Marshall, Roland Lee, Gloria Miller Allen, Darrel Thomas, and Wallace Lee. Some of these works have appeared in a variety of previous exhibits and some are on display at the Art Museum for the first time.
