TACOMA FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE >>>
You might not think about it on a day-to-day basis, but there is a lot of "un" in Tacoma. Local photographer Gordy Lee has thought about it, though, and seeks to bring some attention to Tacoma's underused, unrecognized and other un-ness through his photos, which offer a colorful and perhaps unappreciated view of T-town.
Lee's photos have a surreal look, created by use of three key elements - a tripod, a great camera, and hours of post-production computer work. Each photo takes 10 to 12 hours to create and sometimes consist of up to 20 individual images all at different exposure levels layered on top of one another. Photos are all shot in Tacoma.
"UN-Tacoma will hopefully spur some positive conversation from people," says Lee. "My hope was to offer more than just some guy's pictures hanging on the wall ... and maybe an artist's declaration that we have UN-finished business in our city, or maybe other artists have UN-fulfilled dreams ... I don't really have a particular agenda, nor do I think politics or corporate greed should have any kind of foothold in Tacoma. We really do need more free or low cost space for artists in Tacoma."
The work is display at Tully's at 9th and Broadway until April 4, at which time it will be un-accommodated unless another gallery or space takes it on. If not, Lee will be unhappy.
TULLY'S COFFEE, "UN-TACOMA," 5:30 A.M. TO 8 P.M. MONDAY-THURSDAY, 5:30 A.M. TO 9 P.M. FRIDAY, 7 A.M. TO 8 P.M. SATURDAY, 7 A.M. TO 6 P.M. SUNDAY, 764 BROADWAY, TACOMA, 253.627.5646
