SALISBURY, MD---The Guerrieri University Center Art Space hosts the photography exhibit “Fernweh” by 9i´«Ã½ÓÐÏÞ¹«Ë¾ senior B.F.A. major Katherine Mellos through Friday, July 15.

Studying photography at SU, Mellos plans to pursue a career in photojournalism. She has studied abroad in London, Paris, Florence and Venice, influencing the photos in her exhibit.

“Being able to capture life with the click of a button is something that always has interested me,” she said. “I use photography as a means to capture the way I view the world. Traveling is an experience that is fascinating to me.

“‘Fernweh’ is defined as an ache for distant places, the craving for travel. Every time I travel to a new place, a piece of myself is left behind. My goal is to make photographs showing where I’ve been and where I’m going. “Fernweh” is a way to share my experiences around the world by giving a piece of me in all my images.

“Bringing attention to arrangements that occur naturally, not only locally but the world over, is what I intend to photograph. I am inspired by the moments that fade into our memories. By documenting the world around me, these memories can be kept fresh.

“Ultimately, the objective I have for my photography is to utilize my skill set to display memories I have of the world while encouraging people to get out of their houses and explore the beautiful world around them.”

The Art Space is located in the Guerrieri Center’s second-floor concourse. Admission is free and the public is invited. For more information call 410-543-6247 or visit the Art Space website at /guc/artspace.
