The art of Marshall Pratt and Inas Al-soqi is now on display at the Vineyard Haven Public Library. The exhibit runs through April 1.

Mr. Pratt’s describes his photography as being about people, in particular the sort of in-between moments in everyone’s lives that may not make the headlines of one’s year but actually define one’s character indelibly.

“I capture these moments, magnify them and recontextualize them in order to evoke a feeling of ambient familiarity with the viewer,” says Mr. Pratt.

Printing his photos on a small scale, Mr. Pratt forces the viewer into an intimate examination of his work and its subjects.

Ms. Al-soqi is a recent graduate of Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she focused on painting, printmaking and collage. Her work is a translation of her cultural and political backgrounds, having grown up in both Middle Eastern and East European cultures. She uses primarily images of World War II and violence against women to question the political norms of her utilitarian background.

The Friends of the library are also accepting submissions for their annual group art show to be held in June. The deadline for submissions is May 1. Submission guidelines are available at the library and online at vhlibrary.org.
