EAST GALLERY: Louise Kodis, “Covered Dish”
An installation by Louise Kodis involving a long, long table, a silk ceiling, vintage cafe crockery and the artist's extensive collection of fake food.
WEST GALLERY: Melissa Rackham, “Obscure”
Melissa Rackham explores the tension between omission and exposure within the
photographic frame in her newest exhibition, Obscure. A visual play on words, she
draws on historic image-making techniques such as pinhole photography and the
camera obscura; this work examines how light, limitation and time shape perception.
Central to the exhibition are images made at Spokane Falls Community College, just
prior to the demolition of the old photography building, capturing a fleeting moment of
transition before new construction began.
Based in Spokane, Rackham is a photographer, educator, and fine artist who works with
various photographic media and processes and has exhibited her work internationally.
She currently teaches photography at both Spokane Falls Community College and
Whitworth University and is the new Photography Gallery Director at SFCC.
