Seeker

The SPACE Art Gallery welcomes Photographer Amie Potsic. Seeker is a solo exhibition highlighting the contemporary artist’s feminist photography created while backpacking alone for one year in India and Israel at the age of 23.
Defying the stereotype of the heroic male photographer, Potsic traversed the Negev Desert and scaled the Himalayas with her Hasselbald camera and 100 rolls of film. Through a female gaze, she documented visual splendor, human dignity, and the role of women in their communities. Her lens revealed a multifaceted experience of the depth of ritual and resilience of tradition in the eastern and western Holylands. This exhibition presents the artist’s original photographs as well as mixed media works, memoir, and a monograph created through decades of reflection upon female empowerment, gender politics, and religious patriarchy.

Oculus

The SPACE Art Gallery welcomes Photographer Stuart Rome.
Oculus is a solo exhibition of photographs made from with-inside ancient, living redwoods and sequoias in the American west.

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.

Away I Flew

As I’ve evolved as a human, so too has my artistic expression. Traversing through life, I have noticed that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to be human. For 15 years I’ve honed in on my artistic eye, to create my current aesthetic.
My experience with chromesthesia means that I am able to harness color to create delicate, light and compositionally balanced art. I often strive to find otherworldly, desolate, and surreal scenes with peculiar colors which I use to express my life’s journey. It is my hope that my work will connect others while creating a safe space for me to process life’s atrocities.

Altered State

The SPACE Art Gallery welcomes Jennifer Louise’s inaugural solo exhibit.
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” - Wayne Dyer
Using multiple exposures, Jennifer manipulates her environment by adjusting focus and camera orientation to create a new form: an altered scene that deviates from each photo’s original state and challenges the viewer to view both from a new perspective.
“Altered State” is unaltered by photo processing programs, however that doesn’t mean it won’t alter one’s view of things.
