Event Description
This exhibit features works by photographer J. Henry Fair. Through the works he takes an aesthetic look at some of the most egregious injuries to the system that sustains people in hopes that viewers will come away with an innate understanding of nature's complicity and a will to make a difference. Fair shows the effects of industrialization and pollution on the earth in this stunning series of photographs. "At first I photographed 'ugly' things, which is in essence throwing the issue in people's faces," Fair says. "Over time, I began to photograph all these things with an eye to making them both beautiful and frightening simultaneously." The exhibition is meant to change the way viewers think about the way they live.
