First Senior Show: Photography
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Wadleigh Library, Chester College

Featuring the works of Ashley Moore, Kevin Brassard, and Pauline Meredith.

Ashley Moore shot a roll of film for each building her photos depict, carefully following the natural progression of the human eye through a space. She then printed and pieced the photos together in order. The result is a series of images that appear both fragmented and flowing.

Kevin Brassard’s photographs examine the human self through form and relationships in three evocative series using photographic collage of separate naked bodies. His work is both an experiment in medium and a study in human identity.

Homeless - K. Naomi Hann

Under the library portico

almost invisible

A lone presence

Slumps on the wooden bench

Stunted by struggle in craggy terrains

Clipped and pruned too small for her life

Now a little bonsai mudwoman

All her pebbles in a plastic bag

Eliot Schain: Jack Kerouac was my hero when I was a young writer.
