Mary’s Mockingbird by Peter Bahouth
Mary’s Mockingbird is a site specific stereoscopic photography project by Peter Bahouth with an assist from Jamie Badoud and Mary Hambidge. Consisting of 6 stereoscopic viewers on stands, each viewer contains a photograph of Mary Hambidge’s handmade mockingbird cage taken at the location of each viewer. This work responds to Mary Hambidge’s early days as a professional whistler performing with her pet mockingbird Jimmy in New York City in the 20s.
Locations of the viewers:
• The wire arch near the Spring House
• The Lodge ruins on the Haunted trail walk to the Antinori Pottery Studio
• Judy’s Bench in front of Garden Studio
• The Porch of Mary Hambidge’s log house
• In front of Mary Hambidge’s log house
Peter Bahouth is one of the few contemporary artists working with stereoscopic images, as technique as old as photography itself.

Daniel Biddy, Artist in Residence
Born out of a preoccupation with “looking,” a subdued mania for collections, and an integral desire to arrange groups of things, Daniel Biddy works in collage. The variance and multiplicity within its unassembled elements, the immediacy of its potential to create associative content, the element of chance and discovery in the process of mining thousands of images from source material supply an infinite fascination. His palette is gathered from printed media, unaltered beyond removal of its embedded periphery. Cutting and pasting, imagery is recycled, repurposed, re-contextualized. Equal time is spent collecting, selecting, eliminating, and assembling materials.
Daniel has recently shown work at the High Museum Atlanta, MoCA GA, the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, and the University of West Georgia. He was an Artadia Finalist in 2011, and has work in the Collection of High Museum Atlanta.
