Lake Light, Bad Medicine Lake: We go to the lakes for many reasons – to connect with family, to escape the routine of our work-lives, to read, to enjoy water activities, the list goes on. Yet, often what we remember or take away from those trips to the cabin are single moments of lucidity, simple images of ordinary things that sneak up on us and quietly announce their presence. I offer you some of those images of clarity, taken with a modest point-and-shoot camera, which in a way is in keeping with the rich simplicity of the moment. -- Wayne Gudmundson

Solien extends the reach of the Melville novel, transmuting its figures and themes into a meditation on American restlessness and on our historical narrative of the settling of the West. He moves the contextual framework of the novel from adventures on the high seas and Massachusetts whaling towns to the American West. -- Plains Art Museum
