As always\, the crystals’ ability to refract light creates a dynamic and playful viewer experience\, one the artist further manipulates through the employment of varying crystal sizes\, both interior to the grids and in overall blocks of form. \nThe titles Signal and Echo evoke the search for meaning and the potential for communication with the cosmos. While the grids embody the methodical mapping of scientific enquiry\, the variations in the crystals’ geometric patterns and the randomized light reflections from their multifaceted surfaces\, in turn\, promise pattern within the chaos. “Messages arrive as pulses\, reverberations\, and distortions\, hinting at knowledge we can sense but not yet decode”\, writes the artist. \nOf course\, much of the light we receive from the cosmos is traveling millions of light years from stars that may no longer exist. Noestheden’s works manifest this poetic quality of light as fleeting afterimage\, temporal and contingent\, a universe that continues to speak through its echoes. \n“These lingering impressions speak to the persistence of memory and time: the shimmer of existence that continues after disappearance.” \nJohn Noestheden was born in Amsterdam in 1945 and moved to Canada in 1952. He received a BFA from the University of Windsor and an MFA from Tulane University\, New Orleans. In 1990 the artist accepted a position at the University of Regina teaching sculpture and drawing\, and since 2010\, has been living and working in Ontario. He has had over thirty solo exhibitions internationally\, and his work is represented in Canadian and U.S. museums\, as well as public and private collections. \nView the exhibition online here:\nhttps://www.artnet.com/galleries/jhb-gallery/signals-echoes URL:https://artinamericaguide.com/event/john-noestheden-signals-echoes/ LOCATION:JHB Gallery New York\, 26 Grove Street\, 4C\, New York\, NY\, 10014\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artinamericaguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/JN009-Squarefield-Two-IMG_1344-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="JHB Gallery":MAILTO:info@jhbgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250524 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250907 DTSTAMP:20260411T125351 CREATED:20250530T145022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250613T201808Z UID:113518-1748044800-1757203199@artinamericaguide.com SUMMARY:JHB Gallery at Jetsam Studio DESCRIPTION:JHB Gallery and Jetsam Studio are delighted to launch their summer 2025 season of art and design in Southampton\, New York\, with a new installation of contemporary artwork with modern and mid-century furniture\, lighting\, and ceramics. \nWe are excited to continue our partnership over the last five summers—and to be putting in place our program for 2025. We will be highlighting large-scale works including: Water Glasses and photographic abstracts by Amanda Means; Scott Morgan’s shimmering light-etched Surygrams; Mia Pearlman’s intricate and effervescent wall works in cut paper; Ellen Carey’s color-saturated experimental darkroom photography; classic gestural abstract painting by Mark Saltz; as well as remarkable contemporary jacquard tapestry works by Annette Cords. The artwork will be on view alongside contemporary furniture and design classics by the likes of Pierre Jeanneret\, René Gabriel and Charlotte Perriand. \nIn the summer of 2020\, the Jayne H. Baum Gallery started a unique partnership with designer Quinn Pofahl to exhibit the work of our gallery artists at his new 2\,000 square feet studio in the heart of Southampton Village on the East End of Long Island. During that first summer\, pandemic-deprived of shared cultural spaces\, the new venture provided a welcome site of intersection between art\, design\, and architecture. \nSituated at 58 Jobs Lane\, in Southampton\, Jetsam Studio is open Thursday through Monday—and by appointment. \n  \nPress Inquiries\nJHB Gallery / Jayne H.

Carving directly into the bound pages of vintage volumes\, the artist creates intricately detailed landscapes and architectures\, often textured and painted to render complex topographies and surface vegetation. Laramée frequently works with old dictionaries and encyclopedias\, bringing the geological timescale of mountain and desert landscapes into contact with the canons of knowledge represented by these beautiful yet often dated volumes; the artist has spoken of the tension he wishes to explore between static forms of knowledge and the wonder and immediacy of our relationship to the natural world. \nIn 2022\, Laramée relocated to a new mountainside studio in Nova Friburgo\, Brazil. Much of his work since then has been inspired by the dramatic peaks of the nearby Pico da Caledônia. In this new Livros series\, the artist introduces novel techniques to his practice including carving the pages of his books with high-pressure water and stripping the books of their covers to reveal their sewn bindings—allowing Laramée to manipulate and distort their shapes as the books dry. The dramatic final works have a new abstraction and materiality to them as they transport us to the otherworldly remoteness of their mountainside landscapes. \nVisit the exhibition online here. \nGuy Laramée received an MA in Visual Arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal\, Montréal\, Quebéc\, as well as an MA in Anthropology from Concordia University\, Montréal\, Quebéc. The artist’s work has been exhibited at the Paul Smith boutique\, New York\, NY; Center for Book Arts\, New York\, NY; Museum Sinclair-Haus\, Bad Homburg\, Germany; Yale University Art Gallery\, New Haven\, CT; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\, NY; and Maisons de la culture de Montréal\, Montréal\, Québec. His work can be found in the collections of Bibliotéque Nationale du Québec\, Montréal\, Québec; Cameron Art Museum\, Wilmington\, NC; City of Las Vegas\, Las Vegas\, NV; Michigan State University Libraries\, East Lansing\, MI; University of Michigan Special Libraries\, Ann Arbor\, MI; Museum of Art and Design\, New York\, NY; and Musée National des Beaux-arts du Québec\, Québec City\, Québec\, Canada. Laramée’s work has received extensive press coverage in publications including Designboom\, Artnet News\, COLOSSAL\, The New York Times\, Artforum\, The Paris Review\, Huffington Post\, Wired\, and Hyperallergic.

Common to much of this rich and diverse practice has been the impulse to “look up”: whether commissioning a skywriter to create a four-mile wide ‘smoke ring’ over downtown Toronto\, or through his inventive and eclectic works on paper that ceaselessly explore new ways to represent the awe and wonder of humankind’s relationship to the cosmos. \nThe selection of work in John Noestheden: Absence & Presence represents the diversity of approaches within the artist’s oeuvre\, here linked by the use of the color black. For Noestheden\, black represents both the infinity of deep space\, as well as the plenitude of the visual: black as the absorption of all of the visible wavelengths of light\, and thus the container of all colors. \nDiamond Drawings are represented by Double Cluster\, Blackfield 5\, and Hamilton Field\, three works whose formations of Swarovski diamond crystals are laid out across black backgrounds. Noestheden has here used mineral elements suspended in archival glue as a means to create the infinite dark space of his work’s grounds. As with his Mirror\, Tispace\, and Portrait works\, the velvety texture of these blacks absorbs light\, while minute reflections bounce off the carborundum and titanium ore elements as we move around the works\, creating further analogues for the flickering light of distant stars as seen through the vacuum of space. \nNoestheden’s keen sensibility for the material qualities of his medium stems from an understanding of its ability to carry both metaphorical and representational meanings. Carborundum\, for example\, is a compound mineral found only rarely in the natural world—usually in meteorites that have traveled millions of miles through space to reach earth. The artist’s large-scale Sterrenstof diptych is composed of stardust\, ash\, and clay\, suspended in oil\, and acrylic mediums applied to canvas. \nThe latter work was shown in 2021 in an installation at the McMaster Museum\, Hamilton\, Ontario\, alongside Burnham Volume 1\, an acrylic and stardust on canvas piece that represents a further dimension of the artist’s practice. The Burnham works\, as well as Imaging 2 and 12\, Collision Section One\, and Einstein’s Cross Variations\, are each based on representations of the universe as recorded in the works of historical and current astronomers and scientists. Noestheden layers\, crops\, multiplies and enlarges these source materials in a way that foregrounds the search for meaning over literal representation. As the artist has written: \n“My process is guided by an accumulating interest in the sciences — not to duplicate science\, nor to make art out of science. There is a cosmological analogy that appears through the humanities\, the contemplative\, and within this body of work: looking without needing an answer.”   URL:https://artinamericaguide.com/event/john-noestheden-absence-presence/ CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artinamericaguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/JN124-JN_Macmaster_Install4-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="JHB Gallery":MAILTO:info@jhbgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240926 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241010 DTSTAMP:20260411T125351 CREATED:20241001T145751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241001T145751Z UID:110213-1727308800-1728518399@artinamericaguide.com SUMMARY:Broadway Housing Communities: Benefit Auction 2024 DESCRIPTION:Broadway Housing Communities’ 2024 Benefit Auction takes place September 26 – October 9 with a diverse range of work by over 60 artists available to bid-on at the event’s dedicated Artsy auction site. \nThe auction will raise funds for Broadway Housing Communities (BHC)\, which since 1983 has provided permanent homes for thousands of adults\, children and families in and around the organization’s Sugar Hill\, Harlem\, neighborhood. BHC also provides high quality early childhood programs for resident and community children\, as well as opportunities for local artists to exhibit their work and engage the community through the organization’s museum\, the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling. \nThis year’s auction includes lots by established contemporary and top emerging artists including Ellen Carey\, Will Cotton\, Dominic Chambers\, Janice Guy\, Yvette Mayorga\, Amanda Means\, Rachel Owens\, Ugo Rondinone\, Tavares Strachan\, and William Villalongo. Celebrated artist and activist Faith Ringgold (1930-2024) is also represented in the auction and will be remembered and honored at ‘An Evening of Soul\,’ a special benefit gala and auction preview taking place at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom on the evening of Tuesday\, October 8. Artist Bisa Butler will be the inaugural recipient of the Faith in the Arts Award (named for Ringgold). All auction artworks will be on exhibition at the benefit\, and the evening will also feature a performance by the Inspirational Voices of Abyssinian Baptist Church choir. \nFor questions or more information about opportunities to support the An Evening of Soul gala\, please contact: \nMelissa Benson\nInterim Development Director\nBroadway Housing Communities\nSugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling\nmbenson@bhc.org\n718.938.9050 \nhttps://www.broadwayhousing.org/bhc-gala-2024 \n  URL:https://artinamericaguide.com/event/broadway-housing-communities-benefit-auction-2024/ LOCATION:Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling\, 898 St. Nicholas Avenue @ 155th Street\, New York\, NY\, 10032\, United States CATEGORIES:Event,Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artinamericaguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Ringgold-BHC-2024-banner-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="JHB Gallery":MAILTO:info@jhbgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240309T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240526T150000 DTSTAMP:20260411T125351 CREATED:20240301T180427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240301T185446Z UID:107294-1709978400-1716735600@artinamericaguide.com SUMMARY:Structural Play at Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling DESCRIPTION:JHB Gallery is delighted to present Structural Play\, an exhibition of eight artists’ work at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling in New York. \nWorking across media\, from paper\, ceramics\, mixed-media installation to photography\, these eight women artists can be linked by their engagement with processes of play and material exploration. Often beginning with formal structures\, be they geometric\, architectural\, or linguistic\, the artists introduce elements of the crafted and the hand-made to produce energies that ultimately overspill these underlying frameworks; valuing process\, their work allows us to see the exploration and craft of their art as part of its function and meaning. \nGolnar Adili’s two related installation pieces center upon the Persian language\, specifically the two verbs Benshinand and Benshaanand (with their inter-related meanings to sit or to seat) that form the pivot of the celebrated 14th century Persian poem the Samanbouyan. Adili fashions simplified forms of the two words from wooden play blocks\, creating new spatial metaphors for the play on words: crisscrossing the repeated iterations of Benshinand and Benshaanand into a city skyline-like extended floor arrangement\, and creating a see-saw mechanism for each word that evokes the sing-song-like enunciation and tactile interaction at the heart of learning. \nMalene Barnett’s large ceramic wall work Memories of Home draws upon the artist’s African Caribbean heritage and her background studying both textile design and ceramics. Inspired by the pattern design and mark-making techniques of West African art and architecture\, the artist creates freehand and intuitive patterned ceramic tiles embodying the tradition of Nigerian Uli and Kassena painting—hued with rich earthen tones and recombined by the artist in a large-scale loose grid assemblage. Created using Jamaican clay\, Barnett’s work connects the craft traditions at the heart of the Black diaspora—linking African traditional design with contemporary art via the artist’s own Caribbean heritage. \nEach of Jaq Belcher’s works starts with a fresh sheet of paper on which the artist meticulously plots her designs in fine pencil lines. Methodically and meditatively\, she cuts into the paper with fine X-Acto blades to produce her work’s characteristic ‘seeds’: small oval forms sliced from the surrounding paper that the artist will often leave attached along one edge. Belcher ultimately ‘lifts’ these attached seeds\, elevating the unattached edge from the surface of the paper so that the complex gridded and spiraling geometries of her designs gradually reveal themselves. Beginning in plotting and geometry\, the artist’s work ultimately unfolds outward into materiality and presence. \nEllen Carey’s Dings & Shadows are color photograms created by the artist entirely in the darkroom without either traditional subject matter or a negative stage in between. The artist crushes and manipulates her photographic paper by hand before exposing it to the filtered lights of the photographic process\, producing remarkable abstract images in intense and highly saturated colors. Her work is freewheeling and experimental—untethered by rules\, formal structures or conventional procedures—and at the same time\, anchored to the origins of photography\, with its literal meaning “drawing with light”. Carey’s work represents a deft interplay between the random and controlled elements of her process\, allowing the photo-object to speak: in color\, in form\, in composition. \nSamantha Holmes’ Geometric Application works stem from the artist’s interest in work patterns found in sources as varying as ancient Islamic mosaics\, Puerto Rican lacework\, and new discoveries in modern physics. As much concerned with the irregularity found within patterns as in their underlying geometries\, Holmes allows imperfections introduced by the individual hand to develop and magnify across a work as it moves from soft maquette to its final form in painted steel. In doing so\, the artist foregrounds the unruliness of life as it is lived\, over the illusion of order\, be it scientific\, cultural or spiritual. \nThe sculptural installations of Karen Margolis explore the linked processes of creation and destruction at the heart of the cycle of life. Employing rescued and recycled materials including paper\, plastic\, wire and found objects\, the artist accrues her materials into fantastical bio-constructions as densely layered and intensely colored as a coral reef. Often working site-specifically (her installation Continuum is currently on view as part of the Art at Amtrak public art program at Moynihan Train Hall)\, Margolis’s installations can appear to emerge organically from the building’s architecture\, engulfing and outgrowing its underlining form. Frequently rehabilitating elements of previous sculptures in new installations\, the artist’s process embraces decay and rebirth—life in all its glorious chaos and constant transformation. \nMia Pearlman’s mixed-media works The World Below the Brine are made with cut and painted paper\, into which the artist incorporates elements of “ghost gear”—waste pieces of fishing nets\, rope and tackle salvaged from oceans around the world. The free-flowing and often turbulent forms of her pieces evoke the drama of the ocean\, as well as the brutality of humankind’s impact on the natural world. The remarkable fluidity and invention of the artist’s work echoes the depiction of water and waves in Japanese woodblock art\, just as Pearlman’s visually ravishing forms channel the imaginative richness and “other spheres” of the Walt Whitman poem after which the series is titled. \nJulie Peppito’s constructions and multi-media works on paper reclaim discarded objects and materials\, transforming them into works of exuberance and wonder. From street trash to old toys\, mangled cutlery\, knick-knacks and electrical wiring\, the artist accumulates the detritus of consumer culture\, transfiguring her source material through the addition of painted\, drawn and collaged elements to birth whole new ecosystems of form. Her work includes an inherent social and political message\, foregrounding oneness\, recuperation\, and repair of the earth. \nWriting about the work of Golnar Adili\, artist Kevin Beasley has noted the centrality of play to both the artistic process\, and to an open and explorative life in the broadest sense: “Play is essential for the growth and well-being of the mind. The building blocks of cognitive development\, mental acuity\, and social confidence are at their greatest benefit in the young. But play is itinerant in regards to the scope of its role in an individual’s life. Work is not the opposite of play; the two are\, in fact\, best served in concert with one another.” \nThe eight artists in Structural Play produce work that in varying ways exceeds formal limits\, engaging with the dynamics of play to create new models for how to view and comprehend the world around us. \nOpen on Thursdays. 5:30pm – 8:00pm\nFridays. 10:00am – 5:00pm\nSaturdays & Sundays. 10:00am – 3:00pm\nClosed Monday – Wednesday URL:https://artinamericaguide.com/event/structural-play-at-sugar-hill-childrens-museum-of-art-storytelling/ LOCATION:Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling\, 898 St. Nicholas Avenue @ 155th Street\, New York\, NY\, 10032\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artinamericaguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/NEW-Structural-Play-Image-Composite-full-web.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="JHB Gallery":MAILTO:info@jhbgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230810T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230924T170000 DTSTAMP:20260411T125351 CREATED:20230811T174830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230811T174830Z UID:104732-1691665200-1695574800@artinamericaguide.com SUMMARY:Summer Whites: Gallery Artists at Jetsam Studio DESCRIPTION:JHB Gallery celebrates its fourth summer of exhibitions at Jetsam Studio\, Southampton\, NY\, with a specially curated selection of work by gallery artists opening Thursday\, August 10th. \n\n\n\n\nSummer Whites highlights works that evoke the light and air of the summer months on Long Island. The exhibition includes photographic art\, works on paper\, book arts\, painting\, and sculpture\, and will unfold over the entire Jetsam Studio space. \n\n\n\n\nExhibiting artists include Jaq Belcher\, Doug Beube\, and Marietta Hoferer\, each of whom employ intricate and often meditative processes to create works with paper: cutting and slicing\, manipulating books and found objects\, and drawing with adhesive tape in transformative new ways. Ellen Carey\, Jonathan Kline\, Christine Dalenta\, and Amanda Means will be showing photographic pieces that are frequently abstract in form\, using darkroom processes in unique ways to create images directly with light. The photographic works of Bohnchang Koo and Hiromitsu Morimoto are created with traditional camera and negative\, yet embrace a similar spirit of grace and simplicity. John Noestheden and Bastienne Schmidt add collaged elements to their works on paper and canvas\, mapping expansive vistas between the imagination and nature. \nCharacterized throughout by a spare beauty\, the works in Summer Whites encourage us to look and contemplate in a spirit of tranquility and wonder. \n\n\n\n\nOpening reception: Thursday\, August 10th\, 5:00–7:30 pm. Exhibition continues through September 24th\, 2023.

Taking over the spaces of the Great Hall and the Blue Room in the East 34th Street building\, the artists will present works in photography and drawing from September 14th through November 4th. \nAmanda Means will be exhibiting her celebrated Light Bulb works\, here showing a set of black and white gelatin silver prints that depict the same incandescent light bulb photographed using a range of exposures and filters—rendering each successive image as an often-dramatic variant of the one preceding. Presented face-on\, filling the frame of the 22 x 18 inch print\, Means lends these familiar mass-produced objects a monumental quality\, making light\, translucency\, and radiance her subject matter. \nJaanika Peerna will also be exhibiting a set of related works: her Undulations drawings. These pieces in pencil on mylar are presented as a discrete series of 16 x 16 inch works that nevertheless set up a flow of correspondences between each other\, the filament-like lines of one work continuing off the edges of the drawing and picking up again on the next drawing. Peerna’s Undulations foreground gesture and rhythm\, the glides and elisions of the artist’s pencil lines and their erasures being closely related to her work in installation and performance art. \nTogether\, the artists share an interest in transparency and luminosity; Peerna’s use of the semi-translucent material of mylar echoes the varyingly frosted opacities of Means’ Light Bulbs. The artists’ explorations of line and form\, rhythm and repetition\, set serial presentation in play with unfolding development in works that approach the musical in their deft command of theme and variation. \nAmanda Means was born in Marion\, New York\, and is a graduate of Cornell University and SUNY Buffalo. In 2017\, the artist was awarded with a Guggenheim Fellowship for her contribution to contemporary photography. Means has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad and\, in 2021\, was honored with a career retrospective at University Art Gallery\, University of Massachusetts\, Dartmouth. Her work can be found in public collections including Whitney Museum of American Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. \nJaanika Peerna was born in Tallinn\, Estonia\, and received an MFA from SUNY New Paltz\, NY. Her solo exhibitions and performances have been presented at galleries internationally including Haus Gallery\, Tallinn\, Estonia; Gallery 222\, Hurleyville\, NY; Real Art Ways\, Hartford\, CT; Espronceda Center for Art and Culture\, Barcelona\, Spain; and Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art\, SUNY New Paltz\, NY.

Following the artist’s 2021 presentation at the same venue\, this year’s exhibition will focus on examples of Means’ iconic Light Bulb works—including new digital lightbulbs—alongside Abstractions produced using the artist’s characteristic innovative darkroom processes. \nFor over forty years\, Amanda Means has created a body of work that has pushed the boundaries of the photographic medium with her celebrated Leaf\, Flower\, Water Glass\, Light Bulb\, and Abstraction series. Means has been a darkroom innovator throughout her career: adapting a 19th century camera for use as an enlarger\, photographing objects without the use of negatives\, working with a large-format Polaroid camera\, and creating a series of remarkable abstracts working only with light and photographic materials. The artist’s darkroom alchemy was cited by the Guggenheim Foundation in awarding Means their prestigious Fellowship in 2017 for her contribution to contemporary photography. \nOur exhibition will include examples from all phases of the artist’s career. Alongside key works from Means’ ongoing series in which the materials and chemistry of the darkroom are masterfully manipulated to create sumptuous Abstractions\, we will also be debuting new works from the artist’s Light Bulb series in archival pigment prints. \nAmanda Means has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad\, and in 2021\, was honored with a career retrospective at University Art Gallery\, University of Massachusetts\, Dartmouth. The artist’s work is included in many public collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; Philadelphia Museum of Art; The Nicola Erni Collection\, Switzerland; and National Museum of Photography\, Film and Television\, Bradford\, England.

The exhibition includes examples of Means’ iconic Water Glass and Light Bulb series\, alongside early photographic Flower pieces and recent Abstracts produced using the artist’s characteristic innovative darkroom processes. \nAmanda Means has been at the forefront of experimental photographic practice for over thirty years. The artist’s breakthrough monumental Water Glass prints came with her conversion of a nineteenth century wooden camera into a darkroom enlarger\, which allowed her to photograph whole objects directly\, without the use of a camera or negative; the water glass itself becomes its own light source\, at once recalling the photographic pioneers\, while striking a tone of singular minimalist directness that Means has made all her own. \nThe artist develops this focus on inner radiance with her Light Bulb pieces\, creating a series of intensely detailed images of incandescent lightbulbs in both silver gelatin prints\, as well as large-format color Polaroids. In these striking works\, the innate luminosity of the light bulb creates the image’s exposure\, filtered through a nuanced set of exposure settings and gels. \nIn her recent Abstract works\, Means continues to forge new paths\, now making the materials and chemistry of the darkroom the subject of her work: scoring and folding her photographic paper\, and hand-pouring developer over the exposed sheets—masterfully manipulating control and chance in the creation of the finished print. \nAmanda Means is a 2017 Guggenheim Fellow\, awarded for her contribution to contemporary photography. She has exhibited widely in the US and abroad and will open a career retrospective at University Art Gallery\, University of Massachusetts\, Dartmouth\, in September this year. The artist’s work is included in many public collections including Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; Philadelphia Museum of Art; The Nicola Erni Collection\, Switzerland; and National Museum of Photography\, Film and Television\, Bradford\, England.
