9 Perspectives

Lew Thomas: Structural (ism) and Photography (images via Cherry and Martin) 

In this exhibition of Lew Thomas’s photos, focusing on his work from 1971-1978, the mostly black and white images focus on different ways to use the medium to capture time and structure. Some of the work consists of multiple images of the same object put together to create an overall pattern, while others, like “9 Perspectives” (shown above), are several photos pieced together to form one single image. There are other explorations of photographic representation within the show as well, including “Throwing-Nikomat”(pictured above), and black and white photos of documents.  There is a charm and sometimes humor to Thomas’s work that make this not only an interesting exhibition to see, but also a fun one.

This show is at Cherry and Martin until 4/26.
