LOCAL ARTIST Lindsey White
TITLE Wonder (from the series A Field Guide to the Atmosphere), c-print, 50 by 40 inches.
THE STORY "I look for truth in everyday objects. I find solitude in the ones that offer me gateways elsewhere. For example, I came across a metal-encased flashlight with the brand name Wonder written across the front. This flashlight offers itself as a multifaceted tool of discovery. Everyday magical acts are happening before our eyes, but how often do people identify what they’re seeing as extraordinary?"
