Plough Gallery to host Triskelion photo exhibit

TIFTON — Atlanta Photographer David King brings his work to Tifton by way of “Triskelion,” a new photography exhibit hosted at Plough Gallery, according to a press release.
Encompassing three distinct bodies of work, “Triskelion” spirals into one exhibition. The series includes images from thesis project “Axis,” David’s current project, “En Passant,” and “Anywhere But Here,” a politically charged body of work.
David and his wife Athea will be attending the Opening Reception on Oct. 6.
Davis describes “Axis” as showing “the actions of my subconscious.”
These works use lucid symbolism recreating events within my own psyche; discovered through sensory deprivation, meditation, and dream interpretation,” David said in the release. “The images explore the act of contemplation and the realization of instinctive and involuntary thought and practice.”
The “Anywhere But Here” series is “an allegorical response to the tribulations of current events, global ideologies, and ever spanning troubles within society,” according to David.
David’s current project, “En Passant” focuses on the death of his father.
“This body of work started as a way not only to remember the thoughts and memories of my father, but also to understand and deal with his passing,” David said, in the release. “I decided to use the chess game as a catalyst and soon the images began to embrace a more abstract idea of what the memory of this chess game was; the two opposing sides, the thoughts of my father’s duality. Parenting and war, love and suffering, life and death, killing and protecting, father and son. These ideas, things that one could say are opposing forces, exist so close to one another, and at times are the same.”
David King received a masters degree in photography in 2014 from The Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design, Georgia State University.
The Opening Reception for Triskelion is Saturday, Oct. 6, at Plough Gallery, 216 W 8th Street in Tifton.
It is free and open to the public.
