Nature/Nurture

Description

Betsy Weis' recent series, "Icelandia", embodies the forgotten landscape, a timeless tabula rasa. Her enigmatic images encourage the eye to discern what cannot be defined, what preceded and what awaits. Visual elements in Weis' images are cryptic like dreams, as though she has interwoven a binary code among the ethereal textures -- where water, sand and snow blend seamlessly. Yet something uncanny in its serenity and remoteness reminds us of pre-human consciousness. Weis reveals a curiosity (the product of her finite vision and technical mastery) with endless musings: leaving us with a map but without a compass, urging us to use our senses to navigate independently.
Showing alongside Betsy Weis is Japanese photographer, Hiroyo Kaneko, who is now living and working in San Francisco. She will be exhibiting her large chromogenic prints shot with her 4x5 view camera with color film. . Kaneko will be exhibiting two bodies of work: "Picnics" and "Sentimental Education."
