Artists and lifelong friends Nick Shepard and Jake Seltzer collaborated via text message and email to explore the COVID-19 disruptions from multiple perspectives. Shepard’s understated and layered photographs depict past and present scenes as mediated images displayed through the surface of electronic devices. Seltzer’s brash and energetic poems reflect on wide-ranging experiences. Together, the images and words create a complex portrait of this extraordinary moment.

Axis Gallery is pleased to present “A Mechanized Pencil,” an exhibition of photographs in a site-specific installation by Nick Shepard on view from October 4 through October 27, with a Second Saturday reception with the artist on Saturday, October 12, from 6:00–8:00 pm. Shepard will present an artist talk Friday, October 4. This is Shepard’s second solo exhibition at Axis Gallery. Shepard’s work is grounded in a deep understanding of art history and the relationship between photography and other media. He makes frequent use of digital and analog processes to create images that are easily mistaken for paintings, but remain undeniably photographic.
