Cynthia Farnell's photography will be featured in "PRESENCE (ATALAYA)" at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet from May 18 to 22. Viewing hours are from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. daily. A reception with the artist will be Thursday, May 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The viewing hours and reception are free and open to the public with park admission. "PRESENCE (ATALAYA)" features delicate photographic transfers on white panels, placed in selected rooms of Atalaya, the former Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington residence at Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet. Panel imagery is derived from the menagerie of live animals that Anna Huntington, a sculptor, kept on hand as models for her work. Farnell, director of the Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery at the University, says that she was inspired to make an installation at Atalaya because of its location and history.
