Pictures & Poems explores the resonant dialogue between image and text, highlighting how photographs and poems can operate as parallel forms of storytelling. Each art form is shaped by memory, place, and emotional experience in distinct yet complementary ways. The exhibition features photographs by Matt Eich, Al J. Thompson, Ash Adams, and Ocean Vuong, alongside poems by Doug Van Gundy, Tanio M. McCallum, Ash Adams, and Ocean Vuong. Together, these artists blur the boundaries between visual and literary practices, inviting viewers to slow down and consider how meaning emerges through careful looking and attentive reading.
