Blaze Across the Firmament
Haines Gallery proudly presents Blaze Across the Firmament, a group exhibition exploring our relationship to the heavens — those ethereal bodies that illuminate the night sky, mark our place in the universe, and offer us guidance and hope. The skies and cosmos serve as a visual and conceptual reference point in paintings, photographs, and sculptures by Linda Connor, Binh Danh, Ala Ebtekar, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Mike Hendersonand Chris McCaw, inspiring meditations on the origins and cycle of life and inviting visitors to gaze both inward and out.

About Linda
Linda Connor’s photography has taken her all around the world. She has photographed India, Mexico, Thailand, Ireland, Peru, and Nepal, among other countries. Connor obtained her BFA in Photography from Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology. Throughout her travels Connor has been able to meld rich views and landscapes with the mysticism of ancient, local cultures.
The New Yorker explained her work “combines generalized forms, like shadows and silhouettes, with richly compelling detail.” Connor’s exhibition history spans over decades and her photographs can be found in collections all across the United States. Connor has published two books full of her work titled Spiral Journey and Odyssey: Photographs by Linda Connor. A recipient of many awards, Linda currently resides in San Francisco, teaching for the Photography Department at the San Francisco Art Institute.
