The Flattest Kind of Picture: Texture and Matière in Photography at Black Mountain College

This essay, in the catalogue for the exhibition Begin to See: The Photographers of Black Mountain College, curated by Julie Jean Thomson, examines the ways in which texture was photographed at BMC. The essay draws parallels between photographs of texture and other explorations of texture at the College, specifically the Matière study from Josef Albers's classes.

​

As a part of my participation in this project, I also participated in a panel discussion at the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center in Asheville on January 21, 2017.
