Juror: Ashley Whitt, Artist and Lecturer at Texas Christian University
Excerpt from Ashley's Interview of her thoughts on jurying the exhibition:
When viewing the images for the Subconscious Exhibition, I was drawn to mysterious qualities or elements that made me question the reality within the image. I gravitate toward fabricated and manipulated photographs. The images by Leah Gose were especially intriguing to me in the treatment of the photograph as an object. I love the way that the images are torn and layered over one another to create a new space and the duplication/repetition of some of the objects in the frame. I was also drawn to the mark making seen in Michele Poindexter’s images. The blacking out of text in unison with the scangrams created a visual poem with many layers of meaning. Another artist who stood out to me was Keri Cronan. I loved the dramatic and artificial color casts paired with the natural landscape.
Artist Included: Sharon Covert, Joshua Sarinana, Rob Crossno, Brian Culbertson, Andrea Tirrell, Berette Macaulay, Vanessa Venable, Kaleigh Rusgrove, Leah Gose, Michael Kirchoff, Rachel Jump, Annie Donovan, Angelea Heartsong Redding, Michele Poindexter, Kyle Agnew, Daren You, Johannes Schmidt, Ann Van Epps, Keri Cronan, Craig Becker, Michael Amato, John Stoupenos, A.E. Fournet
