Six gelatin silver prints by Clarence John Laughlin showcase the artist's masterful blend of surrealism and Southern Gothic imagery, transforming everyday subjects into haunting, dreamlike visions. Known for his poetic approach to photography, Laughlin uses dramatic light, shadow, and symbolic layering to evoke themes of decay, mystery, and the passage of time. Together, these works reflect his deeply personal and literary sensibility, positioning photography as a medium capable of expressing the metaphysical and the fantastical.
