Records of first-time encounters -- taken at night in isolated locations, lit by moonlight and a single handheld flashlight -- these large-scale color photographs are drawn from Nakadate's Star Portraits and Relations series, projects that captured the images of strangers and distant relatives when she and her subjects saw each other for the first time. Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and noon-4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday (all times Central). For more information, call 931-598-1223 or visit www.sewanee.edu/gallery.
