Through April 9th, the Utah Arts Festival’s gallery space, galleryuaf, features three unique Utah artists in an exhibit entitled Mandmade Truth. One of the artists, Mallory Qualls, uses photography and ciabachrome prints to create abstract paintings. Qualls manipulates scenes, rooted in reality, to answer the question, “Can photography truly be abstract?” The results are glossy and atmospheric prints that pull the viewer in to engage in a visual dialogue.
