In Visibility
Delaney Allen
Nationale
811 E Burnside (suite 112)

In the vein of early pictorialists, Allen obscures the archetype of photography as documentation through the synthesis of abstract and found imagery. The pieces’ muted palette and painterly depictions of ethereal occurrences such as rainbows, clouds and water thus disobey easy interpretation and allow Allen to investigate the presumed certainty of sight.

Willful Obedience

Golden Rule
811 E Burnside (suite 122)

Willful Obedience seeks equilibrium between the polarities of light and dark, absence and presence, movement and stillness, past and future, pleasure and pain.
