TADLOCK: When my university went online, I went home to the epicenter of the pandemic at the time. And because of this, my interactions were almost entirely conducted through a barrier of some sort. This set of photographs is a documentation of my interactions with friends, new and old, in a time of turmoil, loss, and a global pandemic.


UMBS: Nic Umbs received his B.S. in Biological Sciences in 2018 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has returned as a current M.F.A. candidate in Studio Arts.His work focuses on interpersonal relationships and the idea of family using digital, film, alternative processes and applied scientific/mathematical techniques.


HAYS: Spending less time traveling than I typically do this spring, I found myself with more time to actually edit, select, sequence, and print bodies of work that I photograph for while traveling. Rose Colored Haze explores topics of climate change, memory, and national parks and wild places as part of our American identity. Photographed entirely in Glacier National Park, many of the images are of scenes and features that are quickly disappearing as climate change threatens the park's namesakes.


BRADSHAW: In examining historical and contemporary astrophotography, I note the aesthetics of the scientific annotations; such as the alphanumeric designations, the mythological proper names of the bright stars, and the descriptions of the image- content. In historic texts, I also note the speculative scientific theories and the florid language of Victorian to mid-century scientific exploration. Formally, I am interested in the indexical information: the fiducial markers, the handwritten observations, the image-joinery, and the overabundance of arrows. I note incursions into the visual picture-frame by the mechanics of the space-ships and that in a stitched-together images (known as photo-mosaics) all photographic data is retained.
