With consistent formality—disciplined use of line, frame and subtle light—Andrew Borowiec transforms the banality of the Midwest industrial landscape into compelling black and white photographs that are powerful for their quiet contemplation and topographic rendering. Along The Ohio is a masterful series of photographs, on view through January 7 at Sasha Wolf Gallery in New York City.
