While in Halifax for the CAGE 2017 symposium (April 20-23), participants will explore the Nature of Nature, a celebration of photographer Thaddeus Holownia’s 40 years of production. The New Brunswick-based Holownia merges photographic and geographic histories. His attention to a subject often spans decades.
Holownia himself says, “The meaning that resides in my bodies of work goes beyond visual description; they stand as a history of the play between human intervention and the landscape. The result is both an anecdote of an ordinary place and a metaphor for our relationship to place and environments. What emerges is a sense of vulnerability and the inexorable force of time.”
