Alibi Fine Art is very happy to present  Iterations, an exhibit of fifteen photographs by three photographers, Allison Barnes, Rachel Hulin and Asia Kepka.

An 'iteration' is an action; a way of moving forward by repeating a process, the result yielding the beginning of the next steps, the next process, the next action. It is also a state; the version that is currently being processed is also an iteration, what is being worked out. This developmental process at times denotes a clear new path, marked by events or milestones; others are more subtle and only garner our attention when complete.

With Iterations we see three artists who turned their lens upon themselves to learn and share the experience of being. Allison Barnes made a self portrait every day for a year and a day, using the camera as a mirror to find her strength as an artist and a woman, utilizing self imposed vulnerability to explore further into herself. Within Thirty-five and One, Rachel Hulin looks to a dual perception from the synchronous vantage of herself and her one year old daughter. The perception of one where time moves relative to memory and the other, where experience with our surroundings shapes the length of the day. Asia Kepka's work blurs the roles of narrator, observer and subject. Her visual journal pays tribute to the influences of her mother and grandmother and the path she took in becoming the woman she is: an immigrant, an artist and a gay woman.

We do not exist in a fixed state, our lives are continually locked into the forward to beginning flow; building our knowledge and understanding of ourselves, growing and maturing into a new self.

Allison Barnes received her B.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts and her M.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She is the recipient of a National Park Artist Residency, was named one of 30 Under 30 Women Photographers 2012, and has work included in New Directions at the Detroit Center For Contemporary Photography. 
 
Rachel Hulin is a photographer, author, and photo editor. Her popular Flying Henry series was recently shown in her first New York solo show and is also a children's book of the same name, released by PowerHouse Books in 2013. Hulin's work has been shown at Jen Bekman Gallery, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Wallspace Gallery, and The New York Photo Festival, among others.

Polish born Asia Kepka is a fine art and commercial photographer having worked for Wired magazine, Fortune, Time and many more, shooting all over the world with subjects from Bill Gates to Yo Yo Ma. Her personal work has been exhibited throughout the country and internationally.
