Bewilderment with Erik Mace

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, September 7th, at 7 pm ET

The planet is changing rapidly. Humans have been tasked with reconfiguring their relationship with the natural world without much success. Long-held hierarchies are unbalanced and communication between us and…everything else, is broken. Why not start over?

Join Erik Mace as he discusses his newest book, Slate, an effort to give agency back to our planet and voice to its landscapes, both natural and created. Slate highlights gesture, form, color, texture, and pattern as building blocks for a new language, one that is informed by the natural world. Erik will go into depth about his process and explore how photography and design can be powerfully symbiotic in returning to a place of bewilderment.

Erik Mace is a photographer and graphic designer whose work is focused on memory and introspection, exploring personal history through lens-based and adjacent media. His projects germinate from specific childhood memories and grow into broader discussions of identity, American life, and the human experience. Erik received his BFA in Visual Communications from Washington University in St. Louis and is an alumnus of the Contemporary Photography program at the International Center of Photography in New York.
