An Exhibition of Photographs and Poetry - An Ongoing Collaboration between Teresa Neptune
& Miriam Sagan. Two artists and cousins hit the New Mexico highways, in search of photographs
and poems; road trips to The VLA, Pie Town, Truth or Consequences and Tent Rocks provide
ample material for both.

Last October Miriam Sagan and Teresa Neptune were feeling especially creative and headed out
together for the New Mexico hinterlands, with camera and pen in hand to try something new.
They hoped the experience of photographing a place and writing about it simultaneously would
enhance the creative process and their own work. They were curious if their poems and
photographs would match-up, find a unique synchronicity.

Delightfully, the experiment between the two cousins proved fruitful beyond their expectations.
The Very Large Array on the Plains of San Augustin, Pie Town, Truth or Consequences and
Tent Rocks in New Mexico, were fertile ground for both Sagan's poetry and Neptune's
black-and-white photographs. And the total proves to be more than the sum of the parts.

Teresa Neptune Studio/Gallery will exhibit the photographs and poetry that Neptune and Sagan
have created so far. It is a work in progress as the two see more road trips in their near future.
The exhibit will open with a reception July 24, 5:30-7:30PM; a reading and gallery talk,
July 25 at 2PM, and hang through August 16th.

Excerpt from "Very Large Array" by Miriam Sagan:

Visible light
The frequency of dreams
The car radio
Andromeda galaxy
it was hard to get the scale right

Sky seen by the radio telescope
Does not look like the sky
You see from here
Or the underworld
Where the sky is a mirror of this one
