Press release

City Gallery presents Tilted Plane, a show of photographs by Phyllis Crowley and paintings and collages by Nancy Eisenfeld that explores the land from above. These works address the configurations of landforms across America and parts of Asia. Viewed from the air, the earth is seen as flat. Crossroads look like arteries; clouds cast shadows on mountains and lakes, and farms are made up of crop circles and rectangles. Abstract patterns and textures are prominent. These microcosms are surprising and curious when seen from a distant point of view.

Tilted Plane will be on view May 3—27, with an opening reception Sun., May 6, from 3—6 p.m.
