The latest selection of photographs, Reflections/Distortions, celebrates the bewildering, mesmerizing, and topsy-turvy and encourages viewers to wonder: What is going on? Explore abstract landscapes by Erika Stone, Paul Caponigro, and Michael A. Smith; navigate complex reflections with Ed Eckstein and Bill Owens; and unravel the layers of photomontage through works by Edward Quigley.
Using a range of techniques from unexpected vantage points to darkroom manipulations and double exposures, these photographs blend reality with imagination and challenge our perceptions of time, place, and gravity.
A new selection of photographs will open in Fuller Gallery on March 11, 2027.
Selections from the Photography Collection is supported through the generosity of the Bernard and Audrey Berman Foundation and the Leon C. and June W. Holt Endowment.
