Photography exists in a place between the physical world and the inner world of the mind. The light that reflects off the subject creates a direct photographic representation, but our interpretation of that image is rooted in experience, emotion, and memory. Some photographers look to be inspired by the external world, a beautiful sunset, or a charismatic model. Others look inward and form an image in the mind’s eye, and seek to recreate that vision through the photographic representation of objects, people, and spaces.

The exhibition The Inward Eye consists of photographs and a video that represent this inward perspective of artist Greg Mettler. The selected works exist in a space outside of conventional time, to reflect the inner verse of the artist’s mind. By merging photography and video with sculpture and installation, Greg Mettler seeks to create photographic artifacts and experiences rather than traditional documentations of the physical world.
