About the Exhibition
Foveal Relay features artist Bridget Conn’s experimental cameraless photographic works that deal with mindfulness, sensory engagement, exploring natural environments, refocusing vision, and reconfiguring priorities. Conn is a photographic artist who explores the potential of photography as a chemical and physical medium through the creation of chemigrams. Dealing with themes of societal struggles, awe and wonder, challenges in communication, and the importance of making and admitting mistakes, Conn investigates the boundaries of photography with prints, wall installations, and sculptural works.
Conn earned her MFA from the University of Georgia. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally with recent shows at The Halide Project in Philadelphia, PA, the Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, CO, the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA, Chiang Mai Photography Festival in Thailand, and the Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia in Spain. Her work has been featured in numerous publications including Lenscratch, The Hand Magazine, Exposure Magazine, Aeonian Magazine, and Focal Plane Journal. Conn currently resides in Nashville, Indiana, USA.
