noah-doelyWhat: Noah Doely – By the LIght

When: Friday February 7, 2014

Where: The San Diego Museum of Art

Description: Fine tune your sense of place and space with Noah Doely’s outstanding ‘By the Light’ exhibit. Noah Doely produces quirky places in his work. His environments nudge the viewer into reconsidering their own position within history and their relationships, in any form, to the subject matter. This new body of photographs entitled, Above & Below, has been inspired by caves. Doely reinforces the notion of universalism by remaining distanced from any culture or individual. Furthermore, as you observe the dramatic display interaction of light in these photographs, the relationship between nature and belief becomes reinforced. By isolating these forms and playing with the light source, these caves have been elevated to being sacred.
