In the third concurrent exhibition, In-Process’, four of FIX Photography Collective’s members – Joy Gregory, Jess Holdengarde, Melanie King and Christina McBride – will exhibit work. FIX Photography Collective is an artist-run collective founded by Christina McBride (GSA staff member) and Jess Holdengarde (GSA MFA alumna). It aims to bring together a community of lens-based practitioners who share a commitment to analogue processes, a concern for the natural environment and a commitment to expand new, exciting and more sustainable processes and materials within photography.
The works on show explore a range of media which utilize natural materials and components of the landscape. With the use of flowers, vegetables, seaweed and plant-based materials the artists present alternative methods and processes of creating photographic images. Through invention, method and light, these works consider the photograph in a landscape of ecological ruin and question the role of photography in a changing world.
