The world was once thought of as being flat. The horizon line was seen with great trepidation, as a definitive edge, a cliff that fell off into endless nothingness. Sparky Campanella’s horizon series offers something like that palpable intensity we misinformed humans once felt.

These bold photographs of our urban horizon line play with restriction and expansion, dead ends and vortices, taking us to a new edge full of cinematic charge and inadvertent beauty that results where man and nature touch. “Horizons” combines the natural world and human constructs with a geometric rigor that balances these two fundamentals.

See Sparky Campanella’s “Horizons” Monday, Jan. 15, until Thursday, March 29. Admission to The Goddard Center is always free!
