Within Reach

October 14 – November 23
Opening Reception: Friday, October 14, 6 - 8 pm

Keiko Hiromi

Project Basho is pleased to announce Within Reach, a two-person exhibition by Keiko Hiromi and Tamaki Obuchi.

Keiko Hiromi's series of black-and-white photographs focuses on the daily lives of youth on Monadnock Street in Dorchester, MA. The project is a striking portrait of the vibrancy and struggles of a mostly immigrant community as well as a personal inquiry into what it means to be a part of a community in American society.

Tamaki Obuchi, based in Japan, makes delicate botanical photographs using an 8x10 camera which she prints using the exquisite platinum-palladium process. Employing soft focus and subdued tonality, Obuchi accentuates the poetry of natural forms.
