An 1870s watercolor miniature, ruined by spilled wine; a young girl’s sketches of the night sky; an anonymous, enigmatic 1940s Kodachrome slide of a bus driver and three passengers on a beach: seemingly random, these and other images build groups of works whose interior and exterior narratives connect in ways both calculated and complex. Like snapshots in an album, the ‘stories’ refer back to one another, magnifying each other’s implications. Mysterious, at times foreboding, they hint at majestic forces beyond our grasp.
