Wayland Town Crier 1/24/12: Wayland resident’s photos on display in Cambridge. Rick Colson photographs secrets, unveiling our fears and fantasies in eerie intriguing images.
The Wayland resident juxtaposes color photos of offbeat scenes from everyday life with ironic snippets of text that subvert viewers’ expectations, leaving them to wonder what they’re seeing and how they’re supposed to feel about it.
In one photo, a young boy stands next to a car wearing a gas mark above a caption that reads, “Colin believed in logic and it disturbed him when he couldn’t understand.”
More than 20 of Colson’s photos from his series “Secrets in Plain Sight” are on display in a satelite gallery of the Griffin Museum of Photography at the Cambridge Homes, 360 Mount Auburn St., Cambridge. They will be on view through March 11.
