Two years ago I started photographing my students in class and camp at Arts Council of Princeton. What began as a way to document class sessions and process what was happening in my studios, evolved into a new body of work and documentary project that explores the creative energy of our youngest artists at work. It is an active and ongoing project. The photographs are made with an iPhone. The choice has allowed the work to be subtle, nuanced, and unobtrusive.
These are images made in the moment. These are moments of exploration, curiosity, discovery, and play. There are quiet moments in the organized chaos of the studios. There are moments of focus, process and flow. There are moments of connection and ideas taking shape.
The Art Makers will be on view at The Arts Council of Princeton in the Lower Gallery February 10- March 9, 2024.
Opening Reception February 10 | 3-5pm
