Process: Word & Image opens tonight at Photoworks Gallery, Glen Echo Park, Maryland with a reception from 6-8pm. On view is the work of Matthew M. Smith and John Borstel, photographers whose work uses text and imagery to, according to Karen Keating, “examine the consequences of self-revelation.” Included in the exhibition are pieces from Smith’s “Series 5.” I met up with Matt last year to discuss, at that time, Series 1, 2, and 3 for an article I was writing for the December 2008 issue of ArtVoices Magazine. For me his work “is an internal journey that manifests itself in deliberate spatial plays of tension between the constructed and the real.” To learn more about Matt’s work and read the article, click here.
