Daniel W. Coburn: Becoming a Specter
Daniel W. Coburn’s exhibition featured previously unshown works from the series Becoming a Specter. The black and white photographs draw on Coburn’s ongoing interest in the imagery of family photo albums. These works seek to complicate our understanding of the idealized American Dream typically depicted in those collections.
