    Life: In Spectrum is a collaborative father–daughter exhibition featuring Jerry Allison and Sarah Shirk, presented by the Dayton Society of Artists.

    The exhibition explores the relationship between monochrome and color through photography, considering how spectrums exist both visually and experientially. Presented alongside Part of a Whole: 2/2, the exhibition offers a more intimate dialogue—pairing a personal, intergenerational perspective with the broader context of DSA’s member artists.

    Spectrums in life are everywhere. Whether literal or metaphorical, they shape how we see, interpret, and connect. Photography, too, can be polarizing—moving between the full intensity of color and the quiet restraint of monochrome. In a world that often feels divided, this work invites viewers to consider the spectrum as both a visual phenomenon and an emotional space.

    Through this collaboration, Allison and Shirk explore connection, contrast, and shared perspective—finding meaning in the colors of ROY G BIV and the monochromatic void between them.
