In the East Gallery, Melissa Rackham will present, “Obscure,” which will explore the tension between omission and exposure within the photographic frame. A visual play on words, she
draws on historic image-making techniques such as pinhole photography and the camera obscura; this work examines how light, limitation and time shape perception. Based in Spokane, Rackham is a photographer, educator, and fine artist who works with various photographic media and processes and has exhibited her work internationally.
She currently teaches photography at both Spokane Falls Community College and Whitworth University and is the new Photography Gallery Director at SFCC.

In the East Gallery, Louise Kodis’s “Covered Dish” installation involving a long, long table, a silk ceiling, vintage cafe crockery and the artist’s extensive collection of fake food.
