...the works below span several centuries and not surprisingly, they use different media, materials, and forms as they invite you to engage with a world of images...

The art works in each of these photos capture what I think of as the experience of art history--an invitation to look at the world with new eyes, to see the familiar as something unfamiliar, and a vision which stays with you, even when you're no longer in its presence. Three were made as outdoor installations, at least one is overtly political, and all are personal in some way although the personal may be the most difficult part to see in some of them. And probably none of them is as obvious as we might think at first sight. In other words, we are invited to look -- but we may have to look slowly.
