On display from December 21, 2025 – January 31, 2026, in The Sunroom at Central Library, Extractions by Gerard McNeil.
About the Exhibit
This series of images presents the viewer with a kind of visual dialogue between real geographies and virtual landscapes. Each landscape image has been created through a process of digitally extracting and editing elements from existing urban landscape images.
These constructed landscapes are occupied by no persons, but are open to everyone. Therein lies the challenge for the viewer of how to enter and maneuver over and through these seemingly inaccessible places.
