What is the Question:
Lewis Anderson & Darcie Sternenberg
September 14–November 2, 2018
Left: Lewis Anderson, “Does The Boatman Come For You” Right: Darcie Sternenberg, “Does Nature Acknowledge Time”
Reception: Friday, September 21, 5:00-8:00 pm
Southern Oregon photography artists Lewis Anderson and Darcie Sternenberg both create dreamlike landscape images. Anderson’s Asian inspired pieces are large multi-paneled images while Sternenberg’s smaller, intimate pieces are in black and white. In this exhibit, each image is titled with a question, which invites the viewer to establish a stronger connection to the art.
Lewis Anderson’s images are layered photographic images on elongated canvases. His use of layered images creates mystical and deeply spiritual landscapes, which are reminiscent of ancient Chinese landscapes. The artwork reflects his own spiritual journey. Having survived a life-threatening injury at an early age, Lewis developed a lifelong spiritual quest that includes world travel and numerous visits to the desert of Rajasthan, India.
Darcie Sterneberg’s black and white landscape photographs are atmospheric and dreamlike. Some of her images are from her travels; many are from familiar places that she has captured in an extraordinary way. She often uses a slow shutter speed to alter the reality of a place and create a feeling of mystery. Working in black and white, she develops rich tonal relationships.
