Spirit: From the Infinity Series
Spirit presents selections from five of the series that make up Bill Armstrong's Infinity series. Working with his unique process of re-photographing appropriated images and subjecting them to a series of manipulations; Armstrong exploits the integrating capacities of camera blur to merge image details, edges and colors to create seamless color fields and mysterious, other-worldy figures.
Bill Armstrong's Infinity series transforms re-photographed and appropriated images to create ephemeral, abstracted and de-materialized color fields and strongly evocative iconic figures. Working with source material as diverse as African masks, Roman busts, statuary and other representations, Armstrong's finished figurative and portrait images are powerfully suggestive of an unseen presence. |

Odyssey:
The Photographs of Linda Connor
Odyssey: The Photographs of Linda Connor reflects an artist's pursuit of diverse and compelling subjects from around the world. Although she frequently focuses on devotional sites and monuments, Connor is also drawn to revealing the spirit embedded in everyday life. She is fascinated with photography's relationship to time: her pictures present a compelling combination of timelessness and a palpable sense of the passage of time. Another core element in her work concerns the dynamic relationship between the natural world and the sacred; its sites, iconography, and philosophy. Odyssey includes some of Connor's best-known images from the past three decades of her extensive work in India, Indonesia, Turkey, Cambodia, Egypt, Tibet and the American Southwest. |

After studying with revered American photographers Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind, Connor became a distinguished teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute, where she has taught since 1969. Odyssey is an especially comprehensive collection of work that spans thirty years of image making.
A Bay Area resident, Connor has been an active force in the photography community and an esteemed instructor at the San Francisco Art Institute for forty years. She has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad, and has been published in numerous books, journals and catalogues. Her work is held in major museum collections - including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London - and has been supported by Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, among other recognitions for fine-arts photography and education. |
