Event Description

Opening reception Saturday, June 2, 2-4 PM

INERTIAL NAVIGATION is Peter Schlessinger's show of new photographic work at the Hosmer Gallery. The title refers to the attitude with which these images were made -- one in which his way of working invites often-unconscious internal states to select metaphors for themselves from the display of the external world. Using the camera as "an emotional divining rod", Schlessinger creates images that speak to the realities we feel as much as the realities we see.

On June 30th at 1:00 pm, a gallery talk, "Using Photography to Access the Unconscious" will expand on this approach.
