“You Looked” At Through the Lens

“You Looked.”
That’s the title.

Reception: May 1, 5–7pm (free and open to the public). 72-567 Hwy 111, Palm Desert CA

She’s nude except for heels, a wig, and a sheer apron pretending to conceal. The pot is decorative at best. You’ve already looked between her legs—everyone does. That flicker of curiosity, the not-quite-permissible glance, is part of the design. The image doesn’t seduce. It waits, quietly watching what you choose to see.

This is a photograph—42×52 inches, framed archival pigment print, artist’s proof. Premiering at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert—a museum-quality exhibition space that once served as the east campus of the Palm Springs Art Museum—through the Through the Lens photography exhibition, April 30–May 25. I invite you to stand in front of it. Decide where your eyes will go.
