POUND NET XVI was juried into the city of Rocky Mount’s 2020 Juried Art Show, with a live exhibit of 65 international works. Displayed in the Imperial Centre, the show was juried by Susan Alta, who had the tall task of trimming down over 800 submissions to her final selections. I’m honored to have had this particular photograph chosen!

HERE IS A LINK to the Imperial Centre’s site, which has archived the exhibit, and includes a walk-through of the show.

JUROR: Susan Alta Martin is photo-based artist, and an active member of the (re)emerging contemporary art community in Asheville, North Carolina. She is interested in how ideas about the economy and the environment are translated into the landscape and architecture. She reenacts the real-world processes by assembling images and objects into sculptural models. Martin is a recent recipient of the North Carolina Arts Council Fellowship. She has shown regionally, nationally, and internationally. Currently she teaches photography and the history of photography at Western Carolina University. Martin received a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of Arizona and an MFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute.

Also, here’s a short behind the scenes video of the magical day this photograph was made. Enjoy!
