Stuart Rome: Oculus is a solo exhibition of photographs made from with-inside ancient, living redwoods and sequoias in the American west. These giant trees are hollowed-out from millennia of lightning strikes and fires, and they form apertures to the sky and the canopy above. Though hollow, these trees remain very much alive and their charcoal-dark interiors reveal strange shapes that suggest a passage from one recognizable world to another that is like a waking dream.

What does it mean to grow up learning that surviving means fighting? Surviving the streets, surviving the systems, surviving despite ourselves. How can we recover from the tumultuous bubbling of the wake, the aftermath of the historical and contemporary trauma of our experiences? How do we turn surviving, gasping for air, into living?

Reception October 12, 4-6pm

Krista Svalbonas' work explores architecture’s relationship to cultural identity, social hierarchy, and psychological space. Her cultural background as an ethnically Latvian/Lithuanian artist informs this. Svalbonas' parents spent many years after the end of WW II in displaced-person camps in Germany before they were allowed to emigrate to the United States. Her connection to this history has made her acutely aware of the impact of politics on architecture, and in turn on a people’s daily lived experience. This exhibit highlights two recent bodies of work focusing on the history of the Baltic states surrounding WWII.

Drawing upon his experience as a photojournalist, Don Camp re-defined the “newspaper headshot,” in order to go beyond stereotype and give thoughtful attention and permanence to the men he photographed. Camp chose to modify a 19th century casein and pigment process using earth (pigment) and milk (casein) as metaphor for the male and female. Combining these organic materials to make images parallels his observation that basic photography is biological, not mechanical.
