An almanac brings to mind seasons, celestial cycles and terrestrial forecasts—an assembly of disparate pieces of information, once seemingly disconnected, converge to bring new patterns to light—presenting observations of the past with anticipation for the future.
In this survey of images, there is something suspended between them—something that is just out of reach—our eyes looking for patterns, our minds wanting to rest on a theme to bind them together—a satisfying mystery: in obscured faces and hazy silhouettes, in glowing orbs of light, in abstraction and in eerie portals that beckon us in.
But what truly connects these images is the fact that they were chosen. Each contributing Gallery 44 member chose an image—they are proud of, interested in, working with, or working through; a visual compilation of observations, thoughts, themes, inspirations and curiosities—to represent the past year. It is a record of seemingly tangential pieces that coalesce into a greater whole to describe our collective past, to help us understand our present, a premonition of what may come based on what has been.
If this almanac shows us what comes next, we are so excited to see it.
