Recollected Forwards: James Talbolt & Maddison Colvin

Recollected Forwards: James Talbolt & Maddison Colvin Exhibition Run Dates: 01.14 – 03.27 Photographs are acts of repetition and recollection—attempts to hold what is already passing. This exhibition brings together two artistic approaches shaped by return: to places, to images, and to fleeting moments that resist being fully contained. Archival photographs taken by anonymous individuals a century ago quietly assert presence—I was here, this is what I saw. From these images, an artist draws the overlooked plants lingering at the margins, translating their shadows, growth, and eventual disappearance into intimate new forms. What was absent becomes present again through careful attention. At the same time, a contemporary photographer repeatedly walks his neighborhood, returning to the same subjects as light shifts and seasons change. These images are not about capture, but about perception—about how meaning emerges through repetition. Between memory and return, the works in this exhibition explore how looking again allows understanding to deepen, and how time transforms seeing into something poetic.
