A show of photos about “cross cultural encounters” and one in which a ceramist comes to terms with his mother's death last February are on view at Individual Artists of Oklahoma. Showing their work are Eyakem Gulilat, a Norman artist originally from Ethiopia, and Howard Koerth, an Oklahoma City artist who is a faculty member at Rose State College in Midwest City.

Gulilat combines photographs of himself and a second subject, both wearing Ethiopian garb, with a landscape filling the space between them, in his well-composed but understated 24-by-50-inch triptychs.
Goats seem to wander between the two figures, connecting them in some way, in “06” from Gililat's series, for example, as do an open aluminum-hued travel suitcase, a dark bag and a black chicken in “05.”
