Peter Vanderwarker: sublimation
On View: March 31 – April 29, 2017
Reception: Friday, April 7, 6 – 8pm
After a week-long trip to Yellowstone National Park in January, Vanderwarker came away with a trove of photographs that pivot around sublimation – a change of state, a movement from solid to gas. At Yellowstone, winter resides on the surface while a very different climate lingers beneath.
Vanderwarker’s entire exhibition focuses on the organic. He creates photographs with illusions of scale and form and finds shape and line in the natural world just as he has accomplished with his architectural subjects throughout his career.
