Haines Gallery proudly presents Elemental II: Photography and the Hand of Nature, a group exhibition bringing together photographs by John Chiara, Linda Connor, Binh Danh, Chris McCaw, and Meghann RiepenhoffWhether printing directly in the landscape, repurposing the earliest photographic technologies and techniques, or building their own cameras, their analog and often experimental methods result in singular objects that draw attention to the physicality of their processes, the materiality of their works, and the wonder and beauty of natural phenomena.
The Opening Reception will take place on Friday, July 11, 2025 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The second iteration of Haines’ eponymous 2023 exhibition, Elemental II brings together new and recent works taken across the American West and as far as the Arctic Circle, and explores themes including landscape and memory, place and belonging, ecological trauma and environmental stewardship. The exhibition’s title is meant to evoke the active role that nature plays — physically and chemically, as natural forces and natural elements — in composing the works on view.
Open Dates: July 11 - September 5, 2025
