SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Corden/Potts Gallery announces their new show, Sea of Lanterns, with images by award-winning photographer Ewa Monika Zebrowski and text by acclaimed writer-poet Anne Michaels. The exhibit runs through February 28, 2015.

Sea of Lanterns is an intimate experience of discovery, an experience of reading images and words. Memory fragments.

"For me this project is a conversation between image and language," Ewa says, "and is about what emerges in a conversation; the meaning is held in each component and in what lies unspoken."

Anne says she absorbed Ewa's images and addressed herself to the images, and also to Ewa. "Sometimes in a conversation one falls silent," she adds. "Sometimes our thoughts are led through association beyond what is said, sometimes we want to show something to the other."

In addition to the prints and text which are on view, the exhibition also includes a limited edition artist's book of the project. Sea of Lanterns is done in an edition of just 20 books.

Ewa Monika Zebrowski's work touches on themes of displacement and memory, time and place, as well as the traces we leave behind. She creates visual narratives often inspired by literature, sometimes collaborating with writers and poets as she has done for Sea of Lanterns. Because of the narrative nature of her work, she has produced thirteen highly prized artist's books.

Ewa's work has been featured in numerous solo exhibits. In addition, her photographs and books can be found in many public and private collections including Musée d'Art Contemporain de Montreal, the Center for Book Arts New York, the Cirque du Soleil, the National Library of Canada, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the National Museum of Women in the Arts and the Tate Britain.

Her books are also part of collections at many universities and colleges including the University of California Berkeley, Brown University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Mills College, Smith College, the University of Pennsylvania, Wellesley College, and Yale University
