Description
In Getting Closer, Heather Renee Russ, Forest Kelley, and Rachel Styer present photographs of people on the ground, from which their subjects are searching for transcendence.
Transcendence is represented more as desire than something achievable. The images depict optimism in youth and beauty in consequence. The ground stands as both a barrier for desire and an anchor of support in this exploration.

The SRP was initiated by a desire for more creative experimentation, more space for emerging artists to fulfill both physical and curatorial ideas, and the tight quarters that San Francisco allots the majority of us. SRP aspires to allow artists in the local community opportunities and exposure often reserved through more rigid tradition, and it hopes doing so will foster otherwise unrealized innovation, exploration, and growth. Through exhibitions, workshops, and group critiques, it serves as a vehicle for teaching, learning, communicating, and sharing.
