The umbrella title for Hirsch's artwork at the Hyde Park Art Center is "Works in Progress." Hirsch will be presenting her abstract photos of the arrangements of the white geo-form blocks scattered at the construction site of the new Maggie Daley Park in downtown Chicago. She will also be displaying abstract photographic compositions of paint-splattered surfaces in the room where she took a painting class at the Hyde Park Art Center. Funding from the Illinois Arts Council will also support Hirsch's month-long solo-exhibit in October at the Bridgeport Coffeehouse located within the Hyde Park Arts Center building. The exhibition titled "River Ice" consists of prints on metal of abstract compositions of ice formations in the Chicago River during the frigid winter of 2014. Hirsch used digital technology to blend her original photos of organic ice formations with colors, textures and other images to create these new works. In November, three of Hirsch's editorial photographs will be shown at the Martha Schneider Gallery in River North, Chicago - 230 W. Superior. The photos are included in a group exhibit, "Existence" consisting of winning images by members of the American Society of Media Photographers- Karen I.
