The show In Practice features selected work from the faculty at the Photographic Center Northwest. I have been teaching at PCNW for over 15 years, and I am really excite for the show and honored to be included along with such amazing other talented photographers and instuctors.

This show is all about  revealing the wide range of artistic approaches, processes, and subject matter that inform both our practices as well as our approaches to teaching.

The exhibition explores unique approaches to alternative processes, alongside traditional digital and analog photography.

 

My work (platinotypes) is extracted from a larger body of photographs examining the notions of a touched landscape. A place shaped through the combined influence of natural processes and human presence. Rather than depicting grand or distant views, these images focus on close observations of the ground itself, where small remnants such as leaves and feathers carry the marks of movement, time, and contact.

These fragments are meant to suggest both care and disturbance, order and chance. The landscape is shaped not only by what is altered or removed, but also by how it is seen. In attending to these subtle details, we are in turn shaped by them, reminded of our dependence on the environments we move through.
I hope you can come out and see the show. The Artist Receptions is Thursday, April 9th at 6pm
