A Thank You and An Invitation

Thank you for being such a talented, dynamic, engaged and occasionally challenging class! Tori and I very much enjoyed getting to know you all. Feel free to keep in touch: we can be found at www.jessecolinjackson.com and www.torifoster.com.

Last but not least, we'd like to invite you to our opening on May 1, 2008. Our photographs, which form just a small part of a larger Gladstone Hotel exhibit, are collectively entitled Timespace. An excerpt from our show text and some sample images are shown below.

Tori Foster, Jesse Jackson and Jon Reed explore alternative, singular ways of representing our experience of time in space. Each employs a technique that combines visual information from multiple frames into a single, synthetic image. Tori Foster creates low-fidelity portraits of movement through a two-dimensional plane over the span of several seconds. Jesse Jackson presents experiential narratives through the compilation of a linear sequence of moments into surreal, dynamic compositions. Jon Reed captures the essential character, experience and memory of a particular city street by layering successive images taken at regular intervals.

Hopefully we'll see you there. Otherwise, have a great summer.

-Jesse and Tori
