Through a series of portraits taken of strangers in 2022, lit by Portland's trademark overcast skies, Sky Wilson constructs a vague sketch of an unremarkable yet familiar place, where longing and isolation share the same space. Sky Wilson is a photographer who explores the subtle details of the ordinary and peripheral. Born in South Korea, he has an intuitive approach to his subjects (strangers) and he finds sentimental beauty in the inconsequential moments of everyday life. He specialises in portraiture and is based in Portland, Oregon.

Over the past five years, Caroline Tompkins has been making images of her sexual desires and fears. Her forthcoming book, Bedfellow explores the relationship sex has with pleasure and danger. It holds two truths at all times - desiring men while fearing them. " What makes Bedfellow a body of work that can be felt in the body is the way Tompkins uses the power dynamics of binary gender constructs to capture a kind of primal vulnerability, one that transcends gender: the inherent risk of walking around soft creatures in a hard world. Soft vs. hard-the dichotomy can be found in nearly every frame, two opposing forces simultaneously coexisting and threatening each other. " - Gideon Jacobs

Golden Persimmons II by Brian Kanagaki, is a continuation of an on going documentary project spanning 6 years. The new self titled book ('Golden Persimmons' - a rough Japanese to English translations of 'Kanagaki') is a visual catalogue of his life and neighborhood shown in 3 parts. The brutalist black and white photographs depict lonely settings; vacant shop fronts, unfinished industrial scenes, empty rooms, and isolated still life's. Kanagaki's laconic, no-frills approach to photography and design accurately translate his practice into art book form. The reductive style of the photographs are carefully constructed to feel like staged scenes devoid of human contact and interaction. The simplistic, graphic aesthetic lives somewhere between product photography and documentary snapshot. Golden Persimmons II contains photographs from the last 3 years that span multiple cities; New York, London, Copenhagen, Saugerties, and Kanagaki's hometown of Vacaville, California.
