There’s No Thing Like Nothing,

Friday, July 8, 2011, 7-9pm

An exhibition of selected works by Sylvia Doebelt, Greater Columbus Arts Council Artist Residency recipient from Dresden/Leipzig, Germany.

Through the various series of work presented in the exhibition, Doebelt blurs distinctions between illusion and reality. She asks what is, and what is not, or rather how does perception become truth? This deceptively subtle depiction of the struggle between surface and space manifests in photographic images capturing light, pattern, margins and lines of demarcation.
