Observations Time & place Photographs by Jesse Alexander and Patricia Houghton Clarke     The creative works of Santa Barbara artists Jesse Alexander and Patricia Houghton Clarke are on the walls of Gallery 27 this February. This collaborative effort between two photographic talents is a discussion of place, people and ideas.     Jesse Alexander and Patricia Houghton Clarke are creative documentarians, both exposing the people and places of cultures we don’t often see, or pass by without notice. These two artists allow us to see not only across the generations of ideas, but how our visual language has changed, or conversely, remained the same over time. Both photographers are deeply involved in their subject, finding nuance in shadows, order in chaos. Both see in black and white and color. Both using light and shadow to tell their story. While these are two photographers at different points in their careers, and we see their similarities in light and form, capturing the human spirit. http://www.facebook.com/brooksgallery27 Gallery 27 Brooks Institute 27 East Cota Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101

The moment is a central pursuit in photography. The moment captured by the photographer, a moment frozen out of an ever changing sequence of events. This exhibit is a recent series of photographs looking at everyday life and the questions that arise along our path searching for the present.

Fear of differences is what stops us from having equality and achieving our potential.   In times like these, we need to find what prevents us from seeing the brilliance in each other’s differences. By taking responsibility for our actions and acknowledging one another - a deeper, lasting change is achieved together. We see more clearly what is because we are able to see each other. We learn that difference is not to be feared.  South Africa taught the world that overcoming fear of what is ‘other’ was possible. After the fall of apartheid in 1994, South Africans experienced a sense of belonging; for the first time it was not about being black, white, colored or Indian but about being part of the human race and belonging to a whole. Seventeen years after the fall of apartheid, we know that rebuilding a country is dependent on the whole. It is through this alliance that we experience a true recognition of our identities. Our society no longer depends on the ideas of the few, or views achievement as a single path, and we are at our best when we collaborate - when we acknowledge and embrace the multitude of humanity. The complexity and profundity of this process illuminates the vision Nelson Mandela offered his nation and the world, and in this way we will reach our potential. Ubuntu, I am who I am because of who we are. Photographs by: Lindsey Reese, David Branson, Ryan Loughridge, Jarred Ray and Jimena Grijalva Gallego.
