 d: 2010-03-20\n\nIn conjunction with FotoFest 2010\, Hooks-Epstein Galleri
 es will present two exhibitions. The exhibitions open Saturday\, February 
 20\, 2010\, at 11:00 a.m. A reception for the artists will follow from 6:0
 0 to 8:00 p.m.\nIn Reading Between the Lines\, Julie Brook Alexander photo
 graphs landscapes the way that quilters collect fabrics. She looks for bit
 s and pieces to record for use in her studio. Alexander then gathers scene
 s that she can join with unrelated images in a collage. The specific techn
 ique for creating these images unites photography\, painting and collage. 
 Alexander states\, 'The composite landscapes possess tension between elega
 ntly orchestrated large views and areas of complex detail. The combination
 s balance light and dark tones as they reconstruct the architecture of phy
 sical space. This series is both active and reflective\; it is simultaneou
 sly personal and universal.'\nIn Jim Falick's exhibition\, The People of t
 he Village\, the photographs were taken at a Mkirikani Massai village in s
 outheastern Kenya. The villagers welcomed tourists and for a fee\, they ga
 ve tours and performed ceremonial dances. While it all may seem a remnant 
 of colonialism\, the money earned is significant and very important for ca
 sh purchases from the nearby town. Falick states\, 'What most interested m
 e was to capture how their wonderful faces express their feeling and their
  attitudes while dealing with visitors. The images shown here were made wh
 en they were not posing and usually did not know a photograph was being ma
 de.'\nReading Between the Lines and The People of the Village continue thr
 ough March 20\, 2010.\nPictured above:  Jim Falick\,   Massai Mother and C
