A series of back lit light boxes installed in Metro Rail stations will feature temporary installations of photo based works. Each artist selected for the program will have their work exhibited for a period of one year. Additional stations will be added over time. These black and white, larger than life, close-up images of eyes and mouths feel separated from their overall context of a continuing narrative.
Eyes view, witness, notice, watch and spy while mouths talk, pout, utter, and express.
In viewing these photographs, we are reminded of our habit of looking at others and reading stories into what we see. As we wait, travel, stand or sit, we daydream and those around us weave into our imagination. The gestures in these images are plainly seen, but remain ambiguous These scenes ride the edge between the real and the unreal, between social commentary and personal fantasy.
