In conjunction with the Underneath and Overcoming exhibit that features Farmerie's work, Customs House Museum is hosting a special evening with Photographer David Farmerie and his photographic interpretations of the Seven Deadly Sins. 

"When I was asked to create this series I was virtually unaware of the Seven Deadly Sins, other than a vague recollection from my youth while attending Catholic school. After researching, I was amazed at what I discovered. They were not the oppressive doctrine that I was expecting. In fact, they seemed to have a profound place in our society today - and that was the beginning of the conceptualization.” - David Farmerie

Helpful Information: Children under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times and in all areas of the Museum. Free parking for Museum visitors is available behind the Museum at the top of the hill off South Second Street. Every Sunday is free admission for everyone!

      My wife and I were both taken in by the photography in this exhibit. The model in this series really portrayed each of the sins on a personal level. The photographer captured the essence of the model as she connected with each of the sins. The exhibit invoked thoughts of the sins and how they related to life today, not only 1,ooo years ago, not just as individuals, but society as a whole. I reviewed the photos several times during my visit and found another aspect each time I passed by. I am looking forward to hearing Mr. Farmerie's lecture on the subject I am interested in seeing what I might have missed on my initial viewing of his work. It seems like he and the model both really discovered alot about themselves and our society through this project. Collapse

      Having attended other lectures by David Farmerie, and having seen his exhibit at the museum, I am sure this event will be both entertaining and insightful. David has a remarkable way of drawing the audience in with his storytelling abilities. His passion for life and his subject matter is obvious to see within the first five minutes. Collapse

      The Seven Deadly Sins, on exhibition at The Customs House Museum and Cultural Center in Clarksville, was a breath- taking, thought-provoking and powerfully captivating exhibit. With great attention to detail and a spectacular presentation, Farmerie was able to capture the emotion, intrigue and lust that fuels our humanity. By utilizing an array of striking poses, lighting and imagery, Farmerie effectively portrayed each sin so vividly that I found myself drawn in as a participant instead of a spectator. I highly recommend this exhibit - Farmerie definitely displays world-class talent, genius and a phenomenal interpretation to a timeless theme. Collapse

      I have attended several of David Farmerie's lectures, over the past two years, and each time I have left enlightened and emotionally rewarded.
