Embracing Chaos & Combining Text and Image to Tell a Story: Practice Group Circle Backs

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, December 14th, @ 7 pm ET

Practice Group I: Embracing Chaos

The old adage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” didn’t apply here: we broke some things. Experimentation and iteration helped us understand our motivations behind our photographic projects and how our work could take on new dimension.

Participants include Kristen Bartley, Mikaela Martin, and Melanie Carvalho.

Practice Group II: Combining Text and Image to Tell a Story

We are photographers.  But we spent most of our lives communicating with others through words.  This practice group spent several weeks experimenting with the intersection of image and text.  How are the two media the same and different?  Can art be hybrid?  What are the limits of images and how can text enhance, or even change, the meaning of each photograph?  If anything, this practice group took us all on intimate journeys into ourselves that none of us expected.

Participants include Sarah Barker, Yvonne Dalschen, Sara Swaty, and Sandy Johnson.
