Views From the Other Side

In Views From the Other Side, Podolsky and Treichler examine how things can appear so different when seen through new a perspective, whether it's a different viewpoint, angle, reflection, or dimension. The exhibit provides an opportunity for those who see it to experience what happens visually and emotionally when one breaks through the other side.

Podolsky, a painter who favors psychological and narrative themes, credits her inclinations to a childhood spent in Kiev, Ukraine, surrounded by ancient Byzantine iconography. "I consider myself a 'human painter,'" she says. "By that I mean that I paint people in the environments that are inextricably theirs and that bear the stamp of their humanity."

Treichler works in color and black and white photography, and enjoys creating images that stay with the viewer long after they have been seen. "I want people to look at objects and scenes and consider them in a way they had not thought about before," he says.
