Sam Falls: Amongst the Living brings together painting, ceramics, photography, and sculpture in Falls' fourth solo exhibition with 303 Gallery. Returning to traditional photography after abandoning it a decade ago, he expands and collapses mediums developed through durational, site-specific engagement with nature. Ceramics fossilize plants in clay at the zenith of their life cycle; vases arranged with seasonal flowers — inspired by Sogetsu Ikebana — become records of the time and place they are viewed. Terrazzo sculptures composed of healing gemstones are oriented horizontally and meant to be touched, inviting engagement over reverence.
