Hope Gangloff’s Spring Porch is a vivid, almost mythic depiction of nature’s fury colliding with the mundane. A wayward hotdog stand becomes the unlikely focal point of this chaos, as deep, resonant blues swaddle the porch. Explosive streaks of lightning tear across the background, illuminating the scene with surreal urgency. Hope's evocation captures this split second moment, straddling the border between dream, memory and imagination. The warmth beneath the storm is palpable, placing us in the humid evening just before summer takes hold. Gangloff captures not just a scene, but a sensation.
