Linda Alterwitz’s thermal portraits look like x-rays upon first glance. However, her series Superpowers, portrays the different strengths these children have allowing
for their true spirit to come through.

Philip V. Augustin’s abstract black and white images, are process-driven and created without a narrative intent. Instead he prefers the viewer to bring their filter of experience to the images.

Kevin Hoth shows expanse within the landscape and provides a glimpse from all sides, meditative spaces without evidence of humans. This work allows me to contemplate time away from the busy world of information overload while almost abstracting the landscape. Both of these artists create abstraction through the processes they use to photograph.

While Christa Blackwood’s colorful portraits of young men focus on the duality of public and private gender codes through the use of pink and blue. The layered images allow the viewer to question our own understandings of sexuality. 

Kris Sanford’s diptych portraits revisit a group of gay and lesbian individuals she made portraits of in 2000 and then again 16 years later. Sanford’s portraits are a beautiful record of how people can become more secure and comfortable in their own skin as they age. 

Joan Lobis Brown’s portraits of women from the baby boomer generation bear witness to these women’s experiences and all they have accomplished.

As cities change, grow and gentrify, one of the side effects is closing businesses. Norm Diamond’s series Doug’s Gym illustrates this effect by documenting a decaying gym that continued to be supported by it’s participants even as it prepared to shutter and close.

JP Terlizzi’s portraits combine old and new as a way of preserving the past and creating ties to his own family lineage. 

Shinya Masuda’s colorful series Hanafuda Shouzoku also deals with memory. As a way of recording, he uses a traditional flower card game played with his grandmother to demonstrate impermanence and the passage of time.

As a reflection of how our lives move through the cycles of time, these artists train their eye on how we collectively experience beauty and decay.
