In this new feature, we are showcasing an image per week from our current exhibition, the 13th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition. Molly Landreth is our 9th to date. Don’t forget, there is only 2 1/2 weeks left to see the show!

From Molly Landreth’s statement:
“Embodiment: A Portrait of Queer Life in America” - This series of photographs is an archive and a journey through a rapidly changing community and the lives of people who offer brave new visions of what it means to be queer in America today. To be visible is to become both empowered and vulnerable, even in a world where progressive attitudes are beginning to take hold. These images depict subjects who meet my gaze with a rare combination of forthright self-awareness and total abandon, as if standing in for something much larger than themselves.
