Oak View National Bank is pleased to present Daniel King's exhibit, "Precarious Placement" that will be on view through August 28th at 4174 Old Stockyard Road, Marshall, Virginia.

King's recently completed project was developed around the geographies of the highway, rural infrastructure, and industrial use of the land.

"I am especially interested in personally documenting the spaces left behind after the highway system "builds through" smaller communities and rural routes in Southeastern Ohio, in northern Appalachia," King said.

"A Dozen-or-so Images of Trees Replace my Family Album," is a new project also on view in which the artist replaces family pictures with prints pulled from his stored archives. The photographic image is explored as a site for the poetics of human space, shared-place narratives, and subjective geographic representation.
