KMR Arts is proud to present Barbara Vaughn: Apart Together, June 6- Jul 11, 2020. Please join us on the gallery lawn for an opening reception on June 6, 2020, 4-7pm.

Barbara Vaughn describes her series: “"Apart Together" is a body of work created while sheltering-in-place in the spring of 2020. The collective experience of being torn from our livelihoods, relationships and routines during the Covid crisis provided the impetus to incorporate the act of tearing into my artwork. Working with available materials at home - an archive of my photographic prints, basic cutting tools and my two hands, I began selectively and meticulously rending apart and assembling together portions of disparate images. The source materials included photographs of layered posters, advertisements and billboards in varying states of deterioration, disparate water images, and macro details of textured brushstrokes from paintings by Ed Clark. The resulting amalgamations portray surreal unfamiliarity and reference the upheaval of the art world, but also offer hope for positive change from this cataclysm.”

Barbara Vaughn is a fine-art photographer based in San Francisco and New York City. Vaughn's exploration of the parameters of vision and cognition provided the impetus to document abstraction in the real world. The resulting close-up details of urban tableaux, and her mesmerizing reflections in moving water, challenge us to recreate the original scenes and engage the viewers' power of imagination in unexpected ways. Since 2013, her signature waterscapes and other photographic series have been the subject of 12 solo and numerous group shows in the U.S. and internationally. Previous solo exhibitions at KMR Arts include: Synthesi, 2016 and MAYDAY, 2018. Vaughn graduated from Princeton University and attended the International Center of Photography in NYC, in addition to other photographic programs. She is represented by several galleries in the US and her artwork is in numerous prestigious private collections.
