ikkema Jenkins & Co. presents a solo exhibition of new photographs by Deana Lawson, the artist’s first with the gallery. Deana Lawson's photographic portraits are the product of a prolonged and singular journey. The images document studied and methodically staged interactions that blur the desires and intentions of the photographer and the individual in front of her camera. Lawson's intentions are situated in an “I AM space” –insisting that her subjects' identities supersede material limitations and interface with higher planes of value systems. The exhibition will be on view until April 7, 2018 at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. In New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer
