The Letter U, 2022
The image above is from a collaborative effort with two elementary students and artists, Laura Glazer and Shelbie Loomis. The photograph was taken to represent the letter "U" for the word "Useful." After showing our student collaborators how the Yashica TLR Medium Format worked, we all worked together to compose the image showing the trash can's usefulness.
I organized with Laura Glazer, Lisa Jarrett, and Wendy Ewald a workshop for PSU's Art and Social Practice MFA program. Wendy led a multi-day workshop sharing collaborative techniques using the camera and other image-based processes. Based on one of Wendy's projects with designer Katy Homans and educators in Tanzania, the MFA cohort worked with Wendy to explore socially engaged image-making. The cohort created a photographic alphabet about the Martin Luther King Elementary School, where the King School Museum of Contemporary Art (KSMoCA) is located. Wendy Ewald returned to KSMoCA the following year to further work with the MFA program and the Martin Luther King Elementary School students.
