Oakland-based artist Terri Loewenthal has just opened a solo exhibition, Psychscapes, at CULT | Aimee Friberg Exhibitions that runs through April 21, 2018. The historic legacy of landscape photography has been predominantly masculine, but in the last few years, a female examination of the land has resulted in refreshing and exciting approaches to open spaces. Terri's work investigates "the sublime expanse of land and sky romanticized in the still-potent mythology of Utopian California" and the photographs in Psychscapes are single-exposure, in-camera compositions that utilize special optics developed by Loewenthal to compress vast spaces into complex, evocative environments. These photographs combine straightforward landscape photography with explorations into the psychology of perception.
