PUSH / PULL is artist Nick Shepard’s imposing rework of the Garage’s interior, and the next level in his exploration of the relationship between photographic images and the physical spaces in which they are viewed. Visitors immediately find themselves, not in a light and airy gallery, but in a narrow passageway of obscured sightlines and controlled movement, pressed close to the walls and pushed forward into the shadows.
Abstract photographs born of the garage rafters and in-process installation materials are hung either too close to the viewer or too far, and sometimes are partially revealed or just out of sight. Their rich color shifts and striking shallow depth of field comfort with a pleasing, velvety texture, while challenging visitors to piece together a sense of the whole from mere fragments.
TGTG is pleased to present PUSH / PULL in conjunction with Photography Month Sacramento 2022.
