In this new feature, we are featuring an image per week from our upcoming 13th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition. This is our 4th to date.

Cree Bruins is the the product of a Kodak family, just like myself. We have a lot in common as you can read in her statement below and in my blog post on growing up in Rochester, NY.

Come to the PRC opening on May 22nd and see the real work. Or if you are out of town, don’t worry, we’ll be posting images of the installation and reception on our PRC Flickr page.

“Leader Series - Lost and Found”

I was raised in Rochester, New York, the home of Eastman Kodak. My father worked for this well-known company for over 30 years. This early introduction to photography continues to exert its influence today in my art.

I use discarded end leaders from processed 35mm film that had been partially exposed to light during the loading process into the camera. These film parts are digitally captured, then converted to an Iris print. Each image merges the disappearing art form of film photography with the digital technology of today.
