Tracy Fish, Christa Bowden, Brian Culbertson, and Virginia Worrell were
chosen by Byron Wolfe for Juror’s Choice Awards in the Society for Photographic
Education Southeast Regional Juried Photographic Exhibit. Each artist receives an award of 100 dollars. Tracy Fish was chosen by the juror for
special distinction, and was invited to exhibit a larger selection of five of
her prints in the Southeast Regional Juried Photographic Exhibit now on display
in Lee Gallery at Clemson University.
Tracy Fish is the invited artist and will be giving a talk in Lee Gallery on January 25 at 5:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. The Clemson University Department of Art and Lee Gallery are excited to host this dynamic exhibition and the excellent young photographer, Tracy Fish.
The exhibition of the Juried Exhibition is on view in Lee Gallery at
Clemson University until January 28th. This exhibition has been a partnership between
the SPE Southeast Regional Conference in Greenville, SC, the Lee Gallery, the
Clemson University Center for Visual Arts-Greenville, and the CU Department of
Art. Special thanks go to our juror
Byron Wolfe. The exhibition features the
work of 37 artists and 41 images. This exhibition represents an extraordinary
range of work by Society for Photographic Education members from across the
Southeast and the nation. Those
represented include professors, graduate and undergraduate students and
independent artists. The range of
materials (from 19th century wet plate collodion to the digital
drone) and styles (from the documentary to the fantastic) gives us an amazing
cross-section of the diverse contemporary field of photographic work.
Special thanks go to conference organizers Rod Fincannon, at the Fine
Arts Center High School in Greenville, and Zane Logan, at Greenville Technical
College, and to Lee Gallery Director Denise Woodward-Detrich, and CVA-G Program
Coordinator Kara Soper. The exhibition
was organized by Anderson Wrangle, Assistant Professor at Clemson University.

Brian
Culbertson is a photo-based artist currently living in Greenville, North Carolina.
As a student of photography Brian has worked with everything from historic 19th
century processes, to advanced digital image making technology. He creates
images combining traditional and digital processes in an attempt to create work
that focuses on the end result, the images created, and not the process used to
create them. Brian recently started working towards his
MFA Photography degree at East Carolina University in Greenville NC, with a
projected completion date of May 2018
Virginia
Worrell is currently attending Greenville Technical College. She has received formal training in
photography and will transfer to a four year school in the upcoming year to
complete a BFA.
