"Big Pile" chosen for HAFNY's Group Show 45: New Jack City




I am happy to announce that my print "Big Pile" has been chosen for inclusion in the Humble Arts Foundation of New York's Group Show 45: New Jack City.

From HAFNY's founders, Amani Olu and Jon Feinstein: 

group show 45: New Jack City explores one of the most common challenges we often hear when speaking with photographers living and working in urban environments, which is the ability to make insightful, visually arresting work that "hasn’t been done before.” It's one of the oldest clichés and barriers to inspiration. While this is likely true to any environment or artistic tradition, cities as subject matter -- either because of their tourist appeal, or natural magnetism to artists and photographers -- have become increasingly tricky. Using this understanding as a launch point, we invited photographers to submit work that addressed a range of approaches to the urban environment with hopes that it might not only free them from the fear of the faux-pas, but potentially surface some unexpected angles on capturing contemporary city life.
Participating artists: Jacob Pastrovich,Tamsen Wojtanowski, Lori Nix, Elsa Leydier, Carl Gunhouse, Freja Mitchell, Carlos Lowenstein, Peter Baker, Audreé Anid, Alessandro Dandini de Sylva, Adam Lampton, Cait Oppermann, Richard Aldred, Christopher Woodcock, William Miller, Rob Stephenson, Douglas Ljungkvist, Kelly Kristin Jones, Robert Harding Pittman, Jin Zhu, Camilo Ramirez, Greer Muldowney, Tatevik Vardanyan, Marc Yankus, Jaime Permuth, Stephan Ferreira, Sarah Crofts, Rose Dickson, Mihai Rotaru, Noah Addis, Krzysztof Sienkiewicz, Daniel Everett, Sibylle Feucht, Maggie Preston, Felipe Russo, David Molander, Noah Jackson, Yvonne Lacet
So excited to be included in this exciting group!
