Second Sight: Artist’s Statement
Second Sight is an exhibit of photographs in which what I see of the natural world is enhanced through double exposures and repeated images. As in nature, each work holds more than one moment at a time; the recurrence of forms, the rhythm of seasons and the way memory informs what I observe. For me, the camera slows down the act of seeing, whereas digital duplication enhances the feelings I get when I intensely and intentionally look at the details large and small of the world around me. Viewers are invited to pause, look again and find that the second look is often the most true.

Joy Every
Joy Every is a nationally recognized, award-winning artist whose work has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. She has a BA in visual arts from UCSD and an MFA from Columbia University. Her work can be found in the collection of the Security and Exchange Commission and the American Embassy in Lima, Peru among other private collections. Joy works in painting, mixed media and photography.
Joy describes her work as using various media to express her inspiration by all aspects of nature large and small. She begins each new work with a photographic snapshot, playing with concepts of time and memory. The resulting imagery emerges as an idealized or metaphorical version of the landscape and its elements - creating a sense of mystery and a story to tell.
Joy is represented by the Lori Austin Gallery in Healdsburg, CA and is a member of Gearbox Gallery in Oakland, CA
She currently resides in Oakland, California.
