“Death Valley” (archival pigment print), by Jane Paradise, in her joint show with Alan Strassman, “American Landscape: Two Views,’’ at Galatea Fine Art, Boston, through Nov. 28.
She writes:
“My photographs represent several road trips across the East and West coasts over the past 13 years. Before my husband came down with Alzheimer’s, these road trips were an integral part of our lives. During one road trip up the California coast, we carved our initials into the side of a bullet-ridden abandoned car, shown in the image ‘Vichy Springs.’
“Looking over the photographs of our travels, I selected images that reflect the vast variations of the quirky American experience. Underlying the images of our culture are themes of its humanity. Sometimes it is turning away from one's surroundings to survey inner landscapes, catching a moment in time."
She lives in Provincetown.
