Description: 

Keith Johnson, 2018 January 17th – February 10th; Opening Reception: Sunday, January 20th, 2-5pm w/ live music Keith Johnson looked out his window one afternoon and had an aha moment. The town was repairing the road, filling in the cracks with tar. "That's a picture!" Johnson said. He had not picked up his camera since an unfortunate medical set-back two years earlier, but in that moment, he was back. A series taken over the course of several months, time continues to be an important theme to his work. However, Johnson also points to a more simple motivation. In the spirit of one of his former professors, Harry Callahan, quoted above, Johnson says his recent works are created from a desire to simply pick up the camera and see what happens. A group photography show will run concurrently, featuring: Penrhyn Cook, Rod Cook, Matthew Garrett, Kate Henderson, Sven Martson, Mark St. Mary, Roy Money, Hank Paper, Michael Pressman, Alan Shulik, Kim Weston, Marjorie Wolfe.
