Different Heavens: Collections of Photography and Paintings

There is an art of capturing a particular place and time in the world within the borders of a two-dimensional frame. A drawing, a painting, a photograph is never the place itself, but done well it communicates its distinct spirit.

The photographs of Sia Yazdanfar and paintings of Thomas Stevens focus on decided yet unconnected spaces informed by their creators’ experience. In our world these sites are under different skies, different heavens. Together under one roof, they share a joyful expression of color and form revealing beloved attachment to place.
