Meditations on Memory and Mud with Kaye Savage & Alli Harper
Meditations on Memory and Mud with Kaye Savage & Alli Harper
Join us via Zoom Wednesday, March 12th, 7 pm EDT
Photography allows us to search for meaning and celebrate the mysticism of the mundane. From the ordinary to the abstract, we find in our images both beauty and tension. Join Alli Harper and Kaye Savage as they share photographs and reflections inspired by these questions:
How can we find metaphor in the journeys of sediment through its origin in rock to its settling as mud and the creatures that inhabit it?
How can our photographic practice help us navigate chaos through claiming beauty?
Can the personal become universal through our unique practices, as photography takes us where words cannot?
Kaye Savage teaches Environmental Studies at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. Her creative work addresses place-based themes centered on terrain patterns, relationships in nature, and representations of scientific data. Her past research in environmental geochemistry, and her current creative practice, are explorations of chemical, physical, and biological interactions across multiple scales of time and space. She has always loved the mud.
Join Kaye for her upcoming workshop Landing in Place: Photography Transfer on Handmade Paper May 12-16, 2025 Workshop:
