I am thrilled and humbled to announce the MacDowell Colony has awarded me a Fellowship for the 2015 Summer Residency. Their tagline is “Freedom To Create” — which is exactly what I’ll be doing. Using the studio’s darkroom, I will revisit, edit and print my early (1974-82) B&W negatives. Although the early edit led to solo exhibitions, the fellowship offers the opportunity to prepare an updated portfolio for galleries and museums. It will also be a fascinating opportunity to look through the prism of time to see what the imagery says now about that era.
