A Cherished Embrace of Iron and Water - Frances Bukovsky
A Cherished Embrace of Iron and Water - Frances Bukovsky
Join us via Zoom Wednesday, January 29th, 7 pm ET
Join us for a portfolio share with Frances Bukovsky of their in-process body of work, A Cherished Embrace of Iron and Water. This body of work asks how we can combine archival research and materials with an embodied photographic practice to explore the past, present, and potential future of the relationships that shape place. Frances has incorporated lumen prints made on sites along the Lawson Creek, Glendale Shoals, and Glendale Mill to bring the viewer into a suspended temporal space in which geologic, historic, and bodily time exist alongside each other.
A Cherished Carrying of Iron and Water focuses on the complexity of a landscape entangled in the rapid alteration of human relationship to a place through the development and decline of industrialization. Together we will explore how photography can expand our relationship to place and engage with the past alongside speculated futures.
This project began as a part of Frances’ explorations of Glendale during their time at the Goodall Visiting Fellows Program. This conversation will be facillitated by Kaye Savage.
