Landscapes and Mindscapes: A photographic synthesis of two divergent worldviews
FRI, JUL 2 - SUN, SEP 19
Opening reception FRI, JUL 9, 6-8PM

Using the natural landscapes of Wisconsin and beyond, StarLIght Tews and John Kohl-Riggs, two Madison-based photographers, team up to explore the dynamic interrelationship between events of the mind and news of the world as received through the eye. By contrasting the subjective and objective, the feminine and masculine, the inner looking vision with the outer, the viewer is given the opportunity to experience the jolt of apparently opposing truths. These pieces work to guide the viewer's experience of pleasure to a resolution of a universal tension that exists within all of us.
