Press Release Auburn: Cheryl Sallee Gallery Miles Jordan Contact: Allison Hyde, Arts Program Supervisor 253-931-5100 arts@auburnwa.gov<mailto:arts@auburnwa.gov> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 3rd, 2025 ___________ The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Miles Jordan at the Cheryl Sallee Gallery, on view September 3rd - November 5th, 2025. Artwork Statement: "My project, 504-907, delves into a visual comparison of two distinct yet intertwined regions-Southern Louisiana and Interior Alaska-through the lens of diptych compositions. Inspired by personal experiences and pivotal events such as Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon disaster during my upbringing, this body of work seeks to unearth the daily rhythms and cultural subtleties that define these landscapes. Through a fusion of traditional street and documentary photography techniques, I capture the essence of daily life in New Orleans, Louisiana and Fairbanks, Alaska. The diptych format serves as a storytelling tool, juxtaposing ordinary elements and unique characteristics of each locale. People, dwellings, and the minutiae of urban life-like graffiti-converge to reveal underlying connections and distinctions. At its core, 504-907 is a reflection on the profound yearning for connection and the preservation of cultural identity in the face of relentless change." * Miles Jordan [cid:image001.png@01DC1CE2.C85320F0] "504-907, The Lights," Miles Jordan, 2023 Cheryl Sallee Gallery, Auburn Senior Center, 808 9th St SE, Auburn, WA 98002 The gallery is viewable Mon-Fri 8-5. ____________________________________________________________________________ This art installation is coordinated through the City of Auburn, Parks, Arts & Recreation Department and with the support of the Auburn Arts Commission.
