Exhibit Dates: July 15 - August 15, 2015

The exhibit Organic Abstractions: Series 2 by artist Timothy Wells is a series of large photographic prints. Wells begins with an image of an object and then digitally manipulates the object to abstract it so it no longer looks like the original object.

Is it a photograph from space? Is it real? Is it a dream?
