Bark! And much more...
Photography by Al Dodson
In the library through February 12

Al Dodson, whose family has called the Northwest home for three generations, brings the textures and colors of tree bark into sharp focus for his latest show. His aim? To give viewers a personal look at plants, "photographing their more subtle and elusive qualities and bringing them to light so that the more casual observer might appreciate them." The exhibit also includes a sampling of his landscapes and native plant portaits. See a gallery of Al's work at his website, aldodson.com.
