Farnham Galleries - Sandra Dyas
Location: Simpson College
Farnham Galleries is open Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm
Drawn to people and their environments - and especially natural light, Sandra strives to create a collaborative and authentic portrait of the world we live in. "Photography is a brilliant medium for exploring the outside world and expressing ideas I cannot adequately say with words. My photographs are of seemingly ordinary subject matter. I look for photographs in the constantly changing world that strike a note with me; images that contain reality and ambiguity. I use my camera as a way to see, to interact with the world and to remember."

Farnham Galleries - Benjamin Gardner
Location: Simpson College
Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm
Place and space, as amorphous terms, are my primary interest in visual exploration. The mental presence of images printed or words read inside a book hold similar power to an empty room in an old house; a two-dimensional piece of paper or wood can be either a window unto a world or an object itself. As poets put together words that form new and unexpected meanings, I place different forms of place and space in hopes of a similar outcome—to use a hermetic mixture of text, image, and composition that is rooted in geographical and psychological space.
Tuesday, February 9
