Seeing Beauty: A Photography Awe Walk with Susan Patrice

Saturday, April 1st 3:30 - 5:30 pm
Jackson County Greenway
342 Old Cullowhee Road, Cullowhee, NC 28723

An Awe Walk is a walk within a place of beauty to encounter something that amazes and transcends, whether big or small. During this leisurely 2-hour walk at the Jackson County Greenway, we will use photography to cultivate wonder, joy, and awe. Using simple contemplative photography practice, we will learn how to see and respond to the hidden beauty around us while finding new ways to make meaningful photographs.

After the walk, participants are invited to join us at LiveLab in downtown Sylva to print and share photographs.

Susan Patrice is a documentary photographer and contemplative artist. Her photography and public installations focus primarily on the Appalachian landscape and its people and feature intimate images that touch deeply into questions of place, belonging and ecological personhood. Since 2016, her work has primarily explored the power of beauty and its impact on our feelings of connection and kinship. She lives in Marshall, NC, where she is the director of Makers Circle and a co-founder of the Kinship Photography Collective.
