PRESENT
PRESENT: An online exhibit
Artist or not, this exhibit is for everyone! It is unjuried, and all submissions will be included. We are seeking photographs of creative activities that people are doing to stay Present during this sudden and unsettling change of times. This can include photographs of artwork, but is certainly not limited to it. Are you experimenting with your cooking? Building couch forts or cardboard castles with children? Honing your poker skills? Starting a new hobby? Hiking deep into the woods to find amazing sights? Working on poems? Immaculately organizing your closets? Helping the community? Send us pictures! Let’s inspire each other with a display of efforts to keep spirits high and minds engaged. Submit HERE!

I have been particularly interested in what it means to live with chronic illness and with diminished fight – living with physical vulnerability in the time of a pandemic. My working title is: Living In. This Vulnerable Body. I am putting together a book of writing, documentation, and photographs. This image is called “Q5D” The book’s title is “Take as Directed.”

As a traditional landscape artist, recently I yearned to create a visually stunning yet meaningful installation on the landscape. In my photographic Masked Figure series, a human figure wearing a reptilian mask stands as witness to the disappearance of life as we know it.
