Imaging a Shattering Earth
I haven't spoken much about my 'serious' photography on this blog. I don't really want this blog to be about self promotion. It is more of an online journal. However, if I don't mention it occasionally I am disregarding a significant part of who I am.
Friends and family should already know about a recent invitational show I was apart of. The title of the Show is "Imaging a Shattering Earth: Contemporary Photography and the Environmental Debate."
I am still very star-struck to be included in this show. If you would have told me 8 months ago that I would be in a show with Edward Burtynsky, Emmet Gowin, John Pfahl, etc . . . I would have told you that you were crazy. However, it happened. (Pinch me please).
I recently received photographs of the gallery that hosted the first show. The photographs were taken at the Meadow Brook Art Gallery, Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan. The show was up this past fall. It will also be on display this coming May during "CONTACT Toronto Photography Festival at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art." There is a catalog and a website of the show.

In the below photographs, my images are the long and narrow photographs. On one side is Edward Burtynsky. On the other is Emmet Gowin. Needless to say it is a little intimidating being placed between such well known photographers.

Wow, you even have the image that is used with the title of the show on the webpage. Nice work. Are you still exhibiting the large round walk-in enclosures? Man, that was a long few nights getting those things put together and painted for your MFA show. Congratulations!
I exhibited them last spring in Oregon.

I used a different material for the walls that didn't require painting. It worked out a lot better (and cost more too). I also used velcro to attach the prints to the wall. The prints were laminated so they were much more durable. It was a vast improvement over the inital show. And probably cost 4x more. Oh well. Starving artists don't get that name for nothing.
