First Production Sparton Television, 1948

1948 marked the introduction of the Jackson-made Sparton televisions. The viewing arrangement was novel in that the image was projected from horitzontal face of the picture tube to a mirror that reflected the image to the viewer. This was necessary because early picture tubes were very long and to save space they were placed vertically rather than horizontally in the set. This set was purchased in 1948 by Ron and Esther LeGron of Toledo, Ohio and was in use into the early 1960’s. The donor stated, ”My Grandmother Esther recalls the neighbors all coming over to their house to watch the fights”. This was a common phenomenon across the country as the first family in a neighborhood to own a TV usually invited neighbors in to view the new device.

Gift of Kim and Tim Spangler.

When you meet people for the first time, you see the surface, but what lies beneath that?
What do they want you to see immediately, and what is more slowly revealed?

Ken Campbell's new photography show invites the viewer to ask these questions.

The portrait work in the show uses fabrics, masks, and movement to form different layers in front of the subjects, all combining in different "surfaces", and printed on canvas to add another texture.

The nature pictures in the show are long exposures of water and reflections, again showing a surface that the viewer can dive into - so, what lies beneath the surface?
