Addressing notions of readership, storytelling, and the relationship between the visual and verbal, “Mental Pictures” combines the elements of information and representation common in a gallery setting, from framed gelatin silver contact prints and vinyl vignettes to descriptive wall labels and narrative statements, to develop new plot lines, characters, settings, and shared narrational experiences. Language dominates the space as the verbal, now written, is made visual and unfolds as unique pictures in the mind of each viewer who now acts as both image-maker and storyteller.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through June 28.
