The Alice Wilds is honored to announce the opening of Steven D. Foster: The Space Between, an exhibition of selected works from 1977-2017 on view in Walker’s Point from March 16 through April 28, 2018.

Steven D. Foster has exhibited his photography in major museums and galleries nationally for over forty years, including a mid-career retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1982. Foster knew early on that his life’s work would be dedicated to photography. He was fortunate to study with some of the great masters including Minor White, Nathan Lyons, Ray Metzker, and Aaron Siskind.

Foster’s body of work has been inspired by music, sacred art and the psychology of the creative process. He taught photography at Georgia State University-Atlanta and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he developed both the undergraduate and graduate sub-majors in photography. Retiring from teaching in 2007, Foster and his wife Gloria moved to upstate New York in 2008.

The Space Between features selections from Foster’s earlier work including: The Steve Lacy Series, 1977-78, The Lake Series, 1981-82, Images of Eden, 1983-84, and The Garage Series, 1999-2000; and his current projects: An Imaginary Book: Prayer Stones and Crystalline Paradise, Moorish Spain, 2011-13 and Broad Brook Photographs, 2016-17, which explore synchronicity and the sacred in contemporary art practice.
