While investigating the marriage of East and West, I resist the idea that the biracial body is solely an echo of one culture or another. It is one that is transformed into a new identity. In the silver gelatin photographs entitled Definitive Encounters, a new body has been deformed and transformed into an assemblage of body parts that occurs within the space of the negative, never in reality. The film reinforces the belief in the illusion of the life of the creature—impermanent and stuck—within the photograph, and viewers are invited to take one home, furthering the integration of the biracial body into Western culture. On the reverse, short narratives accompany each photograph as blips of memories that sway between biographical and fictive.

Due to the building guidelines that are in place in response to the COVID-19 situation, we are unable to install a new art exhibit in our Farmington Hills, Michigan and Fort Worth, Texas offices.
Thankfully, the majority of artists who currently have their work on display in our Michigan and Texas locations have graciously allowed us to continue to do so through the spring of 2021. We would like to extend a huge thank you to those artists and we look forward to continuing with a new exhibition in the summer of 2021.
I really liked your post.Really thank you! Przybyla
