“Washington to Washington” by Joel Wellington Fisher

Coming in January along with our “In-Habitation” Exhibition we will be showing a series of photographs by Joel Wellington Fisher entitled “Washington to Washington”. This series deconstructs distinctly American landscapes of significance to the D.C. Sniper shootings that took place in 2002. Fisher’s landscapes show seemingly mundane spaces that give a feeling that something has gone terribly wrong and in a post 9/11 world this work is a look into fear and terror in our recent history that hits close to home and has become a common element in today’s society.

Tacoma Washington

Bowie, MD, Location of Shooting Victim # 20

We are very excited to show this body of work along with our “In-Habitation” exhibition which is focused on looking at different aspects of the American landscape and the cultural society within it.
We hope you can all make it out for the opening!

Gallery Opening will be January 7th from 6-9pm
