Join us for an artist talk and reception with Alex O’Nan and Parker Bolin on Friday, October 13th at 7:30pm, doors open 7-9pm.

Death, Like a Door is a collaboration, but it is also a documentation of two unique perspectives that explore different worlds of change. It chronicles the passage of time in a way that is both personal and ineffable. The subjects and places shown are extensions of the artists’ lives, beliefs, and daily routines.

Parker Bolin is a designer and multidisciplinary artist living in Louisville, Kentucky. Although his art-making practice has encompassed photography in the context of print-making and digital media, he recently began photographing with the intent of seeing and creating more holistically. He picked up the camera in an effort to stay present and creative in the midst of his life experiences - documenting places and subjects that are closer to home. His photography practice attempts to capture beauty in otherwise mundane objects and environments. See more of his work on Instagram at @parkerbolin.

Alex O’Nan has been making photographs for nearly 30 years. At the age of 13, Alex received a 35mm camera, roll of film and introduction to photography book for Christmas. Since then, Alex has made a habit out of documenting all that catches his attention. From his time at UofL as a photography major, to his nearly 20 year career as a railroad conductor, and now as a property manager who goes on photo walks during his lunch hour, Alex tries to capture in a photograph all the things that catch his attention.

This exhibit is part of Louisville Photo Biennial.
