A Measure of Uncertainty at Harvey Milk Photo Center

January 17 – February 21, 2026
Opening reception: Saturday, January 17 2 to 5pm

I will have 4 images from my series Burn Line, including a new Pyrotype. This exhibition marks an important milestone as the work moves beyond early experimentation into a deeper material language. Following my previous work in photographic sculpture and installation, these pieces continue exploring carbonization — treating fire not as damage but as completion. Showing this work alongside fellow BAPC artists reflects an ongoing dialogue about how photography expands beyond the frame into object, intervention, and material process. These works serve as early anchors for a larger installation cycle unfolding through 2026, situated between past research and upcoming Kyoto exhibitions, linking intimate Bay Area conversations to the architectural direction the series is now taking.

 

The exhibition A Measure of Uncertainty features new work by 22 Bay Area Photography Collective artists. Curated by Heather Snider (independent curator and former director of SF Camerawork, PhotoAlliance, and other leading local galleries), the exhibition presents imaginative visions of extraordinary times, from the ecstatic to the existential.

Meet the Artists: Saturday January 24, 1 to 4pm
featuring:  Chad Amory, Timofey Glinin, Shelley Hodes, Mitch Nelles, Angelika Schilli, Anastasia Shubina, Cindy Stokes, Alison Taggart-Barone and me!
 

“The BAPC artists employ a range of artistic approaches to tap into photography’s unique relationship with both truth and fiction, from straight documentation to juxtaposition, intervention, and fabrication. Together, their work creates a chorus of photographic perspectives exploring the edges of meaning, inviting open-ended interpretation, and moving in tandem towards the sublime.”

@nicolekshaffer @recologyair excellent exhibition @nicolekshaffer @recologyair excellent exhibition that’s open today and Tuesday. This program has been producing amazing art for decades. Nicole‘s work is like a mashup of “the Wizard of Oz” and “one flew over the cuckoo‘s nest”
BERLIN:: “Deutschland Deutschland übel alles,” is BERLIN:: “Deutschland Deutschland übel alles,” is a satirical pun on the historical first line of the German national anthem: “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles” (Germany, Germany above all).The sign changes the word “über” (above/over) to “übel” (bad, awful, or nauseating). 

Meaning of the Pun:: Literally translated, the sign means “Germany, Germany, awful/sickening everything” or “Germany is bad above all else.”It is used as a form of political satire or protest. By using this phrase, the person displaying the sign is expressing deep frustration, anger, or dissatisfaction with the current state of German politics, society, or the government.

The original meaning (1841): When Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics, Germany was not a unified country but a collection of independent kingdoms and duchies. The phrase “Germany above all” originally meant that the dream of a unified German democratic nation should be more important than loyalty to individual local rulers. During the Nazi regime, the phrase was co-opted to mean German supremacy and dominance over other nations.

The Brick, 518 N. Western Ave. Los Angeles 90004 - To Share a Stomach is an exhibition shaped by proposals, instructions, and written correspondences sent by artists currently living and working in Iran. interesting work and of course so timely as we hope these artists in Iran are able to be safe — and hope for much more beyond safety.
