Sven Martson, New Documents

September 10 – October 25, 2020

Sven Martson presents his unique way of seeing with his latest collection of street photography. In an artist’s statement, Martson explains his work as a collection of significant moments: “My work is a corollary to my movements through time and space. I photograph scenes of personal significance as they occur where I happen to be. It is my hope to discover and record meaningful moments in life through the process and craft of photography.”

Join Sven as he discusses this collection with co-exhibitor Michael Pressman, on Sunday, September 20th at 5pm, on zoom, for our weekly discussion series, SalonThrive. Register HERE.
