Hello All,
We have just reopened after a short winter’s nap and we’re looking forward to seeing you again!
We wanted to let you know that from February 1-28, we will be hosting digital artwork by Allen Hirsh, a mathematician/biophysicist by profession who has used the tools of his trade to construct fascinating pictures from ordinary photographs made around Links Bridge Vineyards. Hirsh has created a massive mathematical program that manipulates both the color and position of each pixel in the photograph, and weird and wonderful scenes result when the transformed pixels are reassembled into a new image. You will like them!

Hirsh lives and works in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He received his BS in Biology from Cal Tech and his Ph.D. in Plant Physiology at the University of Maryland at College Park. Inspired by the power of mathematics in the sciences, he has crafted a new form of mathematical art. He has been juried into over 90 shows and has won twelve awards. He is a member of The Foundry, the Chevy Chase Artists Group, the Capitol ill Arts League, and the Maryland Federation of Art. He is a juried member of the National Association of Digital Artists and of the Cape Cod Art Center in Barnstable, Massachusetts. To view more of his work, and learn about his conception of mathematical art, see his The Abstract Gardener and AllenHirshArtist websites.

Reception: If you come by the Links Bridge tasting room on Saturday February 8 between 2 and 4 pm, you’ll find Allen on hand to talk about his work and demonstrate his novel methods. He will bring his computer and make additional Links Bridge images while people watch. You’ll see the computer rapidly process millions of pixels, producing images that are surprising and often stunningly beautiful, revealing a hidden world of fascinating and unanticipated scenes.
We hope you’ll come by, either for the reception or just to see these pictures!
Cheers,
Bob & Joan
