Ranging from the canyons of Southern California, through her home along the Kentucky River, and across the Atlantic into quiet corners of rural France, the sixteen photographs presented here by Dobree Adams capture moments of startling reverence. The soft, darkened edges around many of these images function like an inhale before a careful effort. By guiding the eye, they expand perception. Each work seems to take moments that might emerge from the edge of vision, or memories at risk of slipping away – a heron at the riverbank, a cluster of stones arranged like a conversation, the reflective skin of a pond just before night falls – and hold them lovingly before us. Here, wonder is an enduring form of seeing.

Light plays a central role in this presentation—sometimes grazing the surface of water with a muted gleam, sometimes dissolving into the bare branches of late winter. Through patient attention, Adams makes visible the slow rhythms that shape both landscapes and the lives we live out within them. The world seems to reveal itself most fully in these quiet moments, allowing these photographs to share strikingly unique instants, while also expanding our perception of quotidian surroundings. 

Poems by Jonathan Greene, accompanying these photographs in a rich, comfortable dialogue, speak of quiet rituals and returning presence. Together, photograph and verse form a layered encounter, with the concise precision of Greene’s poems echoing and enriching Adams’ exaltingly meditative gaze. In this immersive interplay between visual and verbal, Adams and Greene weave a gentle communion that winds together poet, artist, viewer, and world.
