Almost Alice

Joseph Bellows Gallery presents Maggie Taylor: Selections from Almost Alice…and more, from February 20 through April 3. The exhibition will feature selections from Taylor’s newest series, Almost Alice, as well as other new work. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 20, from 5–8pm. After reading Lewis Carroll’s classic story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland for the first time in many years, Taylor decided to create a series of images to accompany the original text. The three-year project was completed in early 2008 and includes 45 images illustrating her interpretation of characters and episodes in the classic tale. Through the use of modern technology, Taylor is able to fuse a time-honored piece of literature with found images and her own imagination. The resulting images are in themselves an adventure in Wonderland. (858/456-5620, www.josephbellows.com)   JANE SHIOMI
