Shooting with a large-format camera and operating under, over, and through the radar, Turner explores the landscape of American industry that has been left behind by globalization and industrial out-sourcing. All prints shown are gravure -both copper and polymer- prints made by the artist.

NO TRESPASSING – Artist’s talk
Meg Turner will be talking about her work, the centuries-old relationship between printmaking and architectural ruins, the changing industrial landscape of America, and the processes of photogravure and polymer gravure.

Color Falls Down: My photographs visually express the notion of transience and split cultural identity caused by the act of migration. I have been viewing this issue through the lens of my own personal history and cultural journey. My move from India to the United States in 1993 left me feeling that I do not belong fully to either culture – leaving me unable to anchor myself in any particular cultural framework.

This disconnection from both cultures has changed me. I feel I have a hybrid identity, a patching together of two cultures within one person. Photography has helped me bridge the gap between my two cultures while coming to terms with this dual nature. My digital photographs reflect the tension inherent in this dual nature, by juxtaposing fragmented images, family snapshots, and carefully staged imagery. – Priya Kambli
