Exhibit opening! Talk with Lindley moderated by photographer Romke Hoogwaerts
Tuesday, September 25, 2018, 7 PM.

​

Shot in Des Moines, IA, The Meadows is an ongoing series that Lindley Warren Mickunas began in 2015 as a way to reevaluate her difficult childhood. The work later grew into an attempt to reconnect with her family. While photographing over the years she has grappled with the question: Can proximity and time spent together result in emotional closeness? Tapping into the spirit of being an observant child, she creates calm moments and strives to find beauty in a complex and sometimes ugly situation.
