Way of Nature/ Way of Grace

I'm pleased to be included in an upcoming exhibition at the Asheville Area Arts Council entitled Way of Nature/ Way of Grace.  The exhibition was curated by Ralph Burns. Below is more information.

Featuring the work of 18 visual artists, WAY OF NATURE / WAY OF GRACE explores the unsettled, and often unsettling, relationship between humans and the other life of the planet, and probes the conflicts and tensions inherent in a relationship that is often mired in the space between captured love and cruel domination.
Curated by Ralph Burns, WAY OF NATURE / WAY OF GRACE includes work by Rob Amberg, Tim Barnwell, Mike Belleme, Pilar Belmonte, Erin Brethauer, Brigid Burns, Margaret Couch Cogswell, Holly de Saillan, Scott Hubener, Ben Nixon, Holly Roberts, Carrie Tomberlin, Eric Tomberlin, Leigh Mitchell, Steve Mann, Dana Moore, Matt Rose, Jon Sours, David C. Stewart.
In writing about the exhibition, Burns noted that he is “drawn to artists who see out of the corners of their eyes, who move beyond craft and process and use their work to comment upon and confront the dilemmas of existence and the perils of consciousness”.The exhibition WAY OF NATURE / WAY OF GRACE opens Friday, November 8th, with an opening reception that evening from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.

So Definitely the Beach Today

Hit the North

Chevy and Buffalo

Some interiors of the cabin I was in while in Georgia.

Rain

The rain was a major theme down in Rabun.  Lots of rain, lots of the time. 

Horses

More photography I made during my residency. I've still got most of the film left to scan.  Then I will work on a mock-up for a booklet.

Crest and Truck

Surveillance cameras in use

This was posted on a tree along a secluded wooded area in Dillard, Ga. It was remote enough to be out of cell phone range, yet for some reason we are to believe the woods are surveilled not for deterring trespassers or the like, but rather as a warning for the obnoxious litter bug.

Son House

Interiors from my cabin at Hambidge.

A full moon

These images were made earlier in the week late one night during the full moon.  I'm in the process of editing and scanning many of the photos I made during my residency at Hambidge.  I was fortunate to spend two weeks there with an amazing group of artists and writers. 

I made a lot of landscape photographs during my stay. Although Hambidge is located in north Georgia in the Blue Ridge Mountains and near the area I live and work in, it is somehow a landscape that is different, distinct and varied from what I usually encounter.  It had its own mood and feeling.  I sought to follow the thread of the mood and atmosphere of the region.  The foggy, rainy, cloudy atmosphere seemed to permeate every facet and pore of the county. 

Cherokee
