Light Writes Always in Plural
Large-scale photographic murals span wall lengths in Senstad´s project Light Writes Always in Plural. In 1997 Senstad began working with our sensorial experiences of light and color. Through her photography, she sought to investigate and translate into a visual experience the sensations that arise from our perception of the two elements. In photographing the behavioral patterns of her light sources - fluorescent bulbs - she arrests light´s movement and its effect on architectonic space. The work navigates through color as a monumental phenomenon.

Sunburn
Chris McCaw stumbled upon the Sunburn series by accident. Playing with long nighttime exposures in the western skies while on a camping trip, McCaw overslept, leaving the shutter open too long. The rising sun scorched the film and physically changed its makeup, signaling a new way for the artist to work. McCaw hand-built large view cameras (8x10 and 16x20), and inserted fiber-based gelatin silver paper in the negative film holders. Long exposures of the daytime skies created minimalist skylines and occasionally burned holes in the prints. The sun became an active participant in McCaw´s image-making, resulting in the intermingling of photographic subject and object.

Another Shocking Psychological Thriller
Tracey Snelling´s project, Another Shocking Psychological Thriller, is an installation of sculptures, video works, and photographs that depict a story of murder, desire, and mystery. This embattled tale of crime and deception takes place on 3 screens. The three part video piece explores the idea of suspense through using found footage from film noir and other genres, along with original footage.
Participating Artists: Tracey Snelling
