Attendees will have the opportunity to attend the opening reception of "The Infinite Affect of Time on Clouds: Never in Reruns" the newest art exhibit at Holy Wisdom Monastery featuring the photographs of Mark Weller. Light refreshments will be served. Mark explores how time influences what we see – especially clouds. Through his process of taking up to 100 exposures of the same site, separated by several second intervals, and then ‘stacking’ the images into a single frame, Mark offers an alternative perspective on our Midwest landscapes.

He began his career as a documentary filmmaker in Alaska, and by 1980 he had moved to Madison where he served as the senior producer of news and documentaries for PBS Wisconsin. During his time with PBS, he produced award-winning films and live broadcasts featuring international leaders such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and President Bill Clinton. In 1992, Mark joined a telecom company and became their President and CEO.
Mark had dabbled in photography throughout his careers, and when he retired in 2019, he went full-time into his work at a lens-based artist. HIs method of layering photographs, captures and accentuates movement, resulting in bold shapes and distinctive surprises. While traditional photography generally captures three dimensions, his images explore the fourth dimension: time. The results are creations that go beyond the customary landscape.
