2015 IAF Winner, Gregory Sand
By: Grace Robinson
Individual Artist Fellowship, Media
Artist Gregory Sand challenges traditional photography through his exploration of the media’s expression of time and its relationship to issues of existence and death. By recycling old photographs to create new abstract works of art, he shares his interest in the juxtaposition between the brief moment of life a still image captures and the future that the image’s subject has already lived.
Sand graduated magna cum laude with a BFA in studio art from Austin Peay State University. Working of Clarksville, Tenn., Sand has exhibits in Nashville and across the country. His work has earned him the honor of being selected by critic Catherine Edelman and the Griffin Museum of Photography as one of “the most exciting new artists emerging in the world of photography.”
The Individual Artist Fellowship awards professional artists who have exhibited excellence in their discipline of choice. For more information, click here.
