James Kuan says of his series, 'Potential Space', "In human anatomy, “potential space” is the tension-heavy void between two adjacent surfaces pressing up against each other.

In my own life, a similarly complicated space exists between my identity as an introvert, and my perceived need to be an 
extrovert.

I created this series to represent my continued balancing of self-erasure and self-exposure. As a surgeon, I cut, repair and reconstruct. Over the past few
years, I’ve adopted a similar practice with my photography, incorporating collage, layering and abstraction to activate
surface as a metaphor for absence and embodiment.

Born in rural Canada in 1974, I now reside and work as a surgeon in Seattle. I completed the fine art photography thesis program at Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle in 2019.  My work has been featured in the PCNW Presents Program in 2018 and I have contributed to multiple juried group shows, including Who are you? at CPAC in Denver, Seeing the familiar for the first time!  at Filter Photo, #TooTiredChicago slideshow in 2019.
I work in both analog and digital processes, and since 2018, mixed media collage, abstraction and image construction."

FLY AWAY BREATH by Kris Hodson Moore
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)

Kris Hodson Moore says of the series, 'Fly Away, Breath', "Where land meets ocean, the impact of humans is clear. Plastic bags are useful in the grocery store, but are deadly to fish, birds and turtles when they are swallowed or wrapped around gills. 
Fly Away, Breath. began as a spoof on the suffocation hazards I’d been warned about since childhood, a commentary on depression, and a preference for anonymity, but I live near the ocean where plastic waste overwhelms some of our beaches, so over time this series has become a statement about the biohazards of plastic that affect not only sea creatures but humans as well."

Kris Moore’s work addresses current events, social engagement, and protecting the natural world.
 
Moore began her career in 1971 as a self-taught artist. Her formal studies began in 1975 at Indiana University. She pursued her practice in New York City working as a portrait artist, photojournalist, and fine art photographer. Her work expanded to include commercial video production, copy writing, and video editing in New Mexico as the owner of High Fire Productions.
 
She has exhibited her work in galleries throughout the country. In 2019 her work was featured in a two-person exhibition at The Photographer’s Eye gallery in Escondido, California and in a group show at Davis Orton Gallery. She co-produces Open Show San Diego for the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. She is a co-founder of Snowcreek Collaborative and founder of Strong Strong Women both photography collectives in San Diego.

CROP by Erin White
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)

Erin White says, "There used to be a boundary between our phones and our bodies. The walls of our homes held them down and kept us present. The moment our phones were cut from cords, they have quietly existed within the most intimate and pivotal moments of our lives. We’ve become numb to competing with inanimate objects for time and it has redefined the ways in which we love, lose, and communicate. There is a consequence beating in our amplified intelligence and interconnected selves as our phones become our greatest, most isolating comrades. As we grow digitally, we become strangers to our natural environment and to ourselves. A setback rooted in the loss of authenticity and freedom, all masked by dopamine influxes and a never-ending state of distraction labeled as productivity.
Look in front of you, who’s there? Are they looking in your eyes? Are they real?"

Erin is a fine art photographer currently based in Gwangju, South Korea. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in photography in 2019. Her documentary, studio, and fine art works are molded from intimate experiences and based in social commentary. She uses photography as a medium to project her voice and tangibly construct her understanding of the human experience.

UNTITLED 3 by Jeremy Ackman
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)

Jeremy Ackman says, "I see photography as documenting the life around me. I started photographing my daily commute to work on the subway. From there to documenting my family, as a stay at home father I’ve been focusing on my daughter growing up and the world around us. There are bigger influence on our lives that we don’t necessarily sense, but infect the way we think and feel about the world. Our own neighborhoods are microcosm that  express our personality and experience. Nothing stays the same, children grow into adults, neighborhoods redevelop for a newer generation. I combined home and neighborhood because there one in the same, our surroundings shape us as we shape it."

Jeremy Ackman is from Cincinnati, Ohio. Jeremy joined the Ohio National Guard after High School. During that time Jeremy was deployed to Kosovo, New Orleans, and Iraq. He got married and moved to Boston with his wife Rachel. Jeremy attended the University of Massachusetts Boston where he graduated with a Bachelors of Arts. In 2014 attended Hampshire Institute of Art for graduate school where he received a Master of Fine Arts of Photography in 2016.  He has shown work in New York, Filter Space, Black and White Magazine, The Griffin Museum of Photography, Panopticon Gallery, and Phoenix Art Museum.

MOM-AND-ME-AT-A-CAFE-20-YEARS-APART by Ellen Feldman
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)

Ellen Feldman says, "As I sip a cup of coffee or apply lipstick, I feel I’m channeling my mother’s gestures. I’ve had these sensations for decades, generally wanting to shake them off. But as time—and my mother—have passed, I now embrace these “invasive” feelings, These three photos are from the series, “Separation Anxiety: Mother and Daughter,” and explore issues of identity over the passage of time.

(See all of Feldman's works in the online group exhibition) Many images in this series include two photos and a quotation: I juxtapose a photograph of my mother that I took in the recent or distant past, with a photo of me “in conversation with” the photo of my mother. I include a quotation that obliquely refers to the juxtaposed photos. The third photo shown here—
a composite photo I took of my mother in her forties and me taken recently—
“borrows” an image from Ingmar Bergman’s film Persona."

Ellen Feldman is a fine arts photographer, whose work includes prints and photobooks of street photography and long-term projects. Feldman’s photographs have appeared in solo exhibits at Griffin Museum of Photography satellite galleries, Winchester, MA, the Davis Orton Gallery, Hudson, NY, and the French Cultural Center, Boston, MA; and have been shown in many juried group exhibits. Among Feldman’s photobooks are: “We Who March: Photographs and Reflections on the Women’s March, January 21, 2017,” with contributions by thirty photographers and comments by twenty marchers; a photo-comic “The Dancer as the Invisible Girl”; and two books of street photos: “Les Mystères de Paris / Paris Mysteries” and “A Week in Prague: Wall People / Street People.”

She is the photography editor of Women’s Review of Books (Wellesley College) 
and holds a Ph.D. in Cinema Studies from NYU.
