SUMMARY:Photography Club of Davis
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Robert Norris Presents Grand Canyon: River of Light \nThe Photography Club of Davis will host a free presentation by photographer Robert Norris on Thursday\, April 16\, at 7:10pm in the Blanchard Room of the Davis Library at 315 E 14th St. Norris will share Grand Canyon: River of Light\, a collection of images from oar-powered trips through the Grand Canyon in 2008 and 2012 with Wilderness River Adventures. \nRaised in England\, Norris moved to Edmonton\, Canada\, in 1960 to pursue a PhD in crop ecology at the University of Alberta. His academic career later took him to Michigan State University and then to UC Davis\, where he joined the Botany Department in 1967. He retired in 2001 and is now an emeritus professor in Plant Sciences. \nNorris began photographing in 1959 using a Leica III with a Weston 1 exposure meter and extension tubes for macro—definitely not point and shoot photography. He now works with Nikon equipment\, focusing largely on macro photography. He has exhibited twice in Davis\, contributed more than 400 plant images to the CalPhotos database\, and taught several workshops\, including recent sessions on focus stacking. \nOutside of photography\, Norris has traveled widely\, taught vegetable gardening to Master Gardener trainees for nearly forty years\, and grows about 80% of his family’s fruit and vegetables. He is also an accomplished Masters swimmer\, with national and world titles in the 200 meter backstroke. \nGrand Canyon: River of Light features images of the canyon’s light\, geology\, and the Colorado River. \nThe Photography Club of Davis meets on the third Thursday of each month and welcomes members of the public to attend. More information is available at https://photoclubofdavis.wordpress.com. \n“This event is not sponsored by Yolo County Library and the presence of this group in the meeting room does not constitute Yolo County Library’s endorsement of the policies or beliefs of this group.”

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Doug Dertinger and Nick Shepard
DESCRIPTION:Artists Doug Dertinger and Nick Shepard will be in conversation on their current exhibitions at Axis Gallery in downtown Sacramento. Please come join us. \nDOUG DERTINGER\nTRILOGY 2: STALKER (Сталкер) \nApril 3–26\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: April 11\, 5–8 PM \nStalker (Сталкер) explores work from the Doug Dertinger’s 2000 to 2010 photographic archives. Named after Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 film\, the images in Stalker navigate terrains where emptiness\, silence\, and light can become conditions of consciousness\, where place can shift from environment to presence\, wholly other\, sentient and responsive. \nStalker is the second of three exhibitions derived from the artist’s archives. I Have Loved You for So Long (Il y a longtemps que je t’aime)\, 2025\, utilized correspondence\, ephemera\, snapshots\, and photographic works from 1991 to 2000\, years when the artist was primarily in school. A future exhibition planned for 2027\, Goodbye\, Children (Au revoir les enfants)\, will explore his archives from 2010 to 2020. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nDoug Dertinger is a photographer and educator living and working in Northern California. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in the permanent collections of the Princeton University Art Museum and St. Mary’s University Art Gallery\, Nova Scotia. He holds a BFA in Fine Arts from Colorado State University and an MFA in Fine and Media Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design\, and currently lives in Sacramento\, CA where he is a Professor within the Design Department of CSU Sacramento. \nNICK SHEPARD\nTHE KNOWN WORLD \nApril 3–26\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: April 11\, 5–8 PM \nAxis Gallery is pleased to present The Known World\, a solo exhibition by Nick Shepard that functions as a mini-retrospective\, bringing together photographs dating back as far as 2010. \nThe Known World contains images that vary in subject matter and technique but remain grounded in Shepard’s ongoing concern with how photographs are built\, how spaces are assembled\, and what is concealed in the process. The show includes work that looks at the contemporary world specifically through the lens of master painting as well as images that explore modern ideas more through abstraction and physical intervention. \nShepard’s early work used Dutch genres and styles as a strategy to reframe the familiar range and complexity of everyday American life. At a distance Blossoms of Silk and Polyester is alluring. But on closer examination it is clear that Shepard has replaced the glorious flowers in paintings like those of Ambrosius Bosschaert with inexpensive stems from the Dollar Tree\, while the table’s wood veneer peels away to reveal its cheap construction underneath. \nOther works look more directly at the substructure of images and spaces. Several pictures feature unstable or provisional structures. A house mid-reconstruction after a fire\, its roof exposed and the disaster still palpably present. A rickety studio construction assembled from scraps of wood\, loose screws\, and rubber bands\, photographed at the edge of collapse. These haphazard structures evoke an instability that hums in the background—sometimes barely noticeable\, sometimes impossible to ignore\, and quietly exhausting over time. \nOne of the earliest images in the exhibition makes that tenuousness explicit. The 2010 photograph The Day Laborers (Segundo and Rafael) anchors the exhibition’s engagement with the current political climate. As the Trump administration continues to target day laborers with brown skin and Latino names\, these two men stand in for the countless unsung workers who have quite literally built the world around us\, even as they themselves are treated as expendable. \nIn conjunction with the photographs\, Shepard constructs a temporary wall down the center of the gallery\, creating an obstacle that viewers must navigate in order to see the work. As in previous exhibitions\, this intervention both divides the space and calls attention to the gallery’s physical construction. The wall introduces provisional surfaces for hanging while generating new sightlines and unfamiliar spatial relationships between images and viewers. \nNot so much a conclusive survey as an opportunity to take stock\, The Known World is shaped by movement through the gallery and by what is alternately revealed and blocked from view. Meaning emerges through proximity and interruption\, as photographs\, walls\, and viewers are pressed into shifting relationships with one another.” “Nick Shepard’s work ranges from photography to installation and sculpture. \nRegardless of medium\, he explores the construction and consumption of images\, objects\, and spaces. He is based in Sacramento\, where he is an Associate Professor of Photography at Sacramento State University and an active member of Axis Gallery. Shepard’s work has appeared at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento\, the Center for Photography at Woodstock\, the Wassaic Project\, Disjecta Contemporary Art Center\, Holland Project\, and Site: Brooklyn. He received his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC\, and his BA in Studio Art and Art History from Carleton College.
