In extreme cold, water freezes fast and milky, obscuring whatever lies beneath the surface. But when temperatures hover near 32°F, clear panes can form, sometimes wavy like the first glass windows. Air bubbles rise, bending the light into pearls, until the now glittering surface traps them until the spring thaw.
Keiser photographs flowers caught between rapidly thawing sheets of ice and flowing water. As bubbles are released and move with the current, they bounce off the petals in an intricate dance. Once alive and growing, the frozen blooms' now reanimated beauty is captured in her glowing images.

Beacon, New York, has long been an important crossroads of the Hudson Valley. In turn, a center of brick-, then hat-, then art-making, the role of its buildings has evolved, yet strongly resonates with echoes of the past.
Over the last decade, Lerman has methodically photographed the one-mile length of Beacon’s Main Street—documenting the facades of its most distinguished and mundane structures. Based on those photographs, this series reveals more than just bricks and mortar.
“Main Street Beacon” is an interpretation of the history and current lives of the city’s architectural residents. Sometimes broadly, sometimes subtlety, Lerman has drawn, cut, pasted, and scraped away features to reveal the truth of this extraordinary street at the center of the community. It is a compelling invitation for others to take a walk across Beacon.
The exhibit features photographs of buildings (and Beacon’s famous Dummy Light) stretching from the East to West end of Main Street.
