Keith Kozloff: Drifting Through Deep Time

More Event Dates

(1) Remaining dates for this event

Keith Kozloff, an artist, writer, and activist, delves into the intricate web of human connections and disconnections with ourselves, others, and nature. His exhibition, born from Maine beach rock photos, captures the passage of time through long-exposure shots with intentional camera movement. Subsequently, he weaves a narrative around the one-billion-year paleogeography of the lost continent of Avalonia. Kozloff invites viewers to immerse themselves in this vast temporal expanse, urging reflection on our fleeting human existence. Perhaps, within these ancient echoes, we find inspiration to be better ancestors. As a member of the Waverly Street Gallery in Bethesda, his work graces local galleries, his website Peripheral Visions, and various online publications.
