Rahshia Sawyer is a conceptual photographer based in the DC area. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Foundation Francois Schneider, and Radford University Museum. Her current projects focus on the relationships that exist between beauty and humanity and its balanced (or imbalanced) interaction between reality and fantasy. Her figurative floating silk panels dwarf the viewer, disconnecting them from reality, and recreating their singular emotional struggle with loss — an experience we all share. Come experience the art for yourself at the reception, May 13, 6-8 pm.
