On June 25, visiting artist Julia Nabordnik and local photographer Sarah Hart will take us on a journey into their film-based practices.
Julia Nadbornik is a photographic artist from Phoenix, Arizona. Raised by an artist, she grew up having a love and respect for art-making since childhood. She is currently pursuing a BFA in photography from Arizona State University. Her work focuses on alternative photo methods made with botanicals, textiles, and other mixed media. These methods are used to create works about identity, nature and their interactions with one another. Julia is teaching a series of traditional and alternative darkroom classes during her time at Alchemy.
Sarah Hart received her BFA from the University of Washington and MFA from CalArts. She has done extensive photographic, video, and web work in Russia, Western Europe, and the US. She has taught in the photo/film/media departments at Hampshire College, Rutgers University, and she taught for 20 years at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her photographic and film work includes extensive environmental and social documentary projects, including as Executive Producer of Return of the River, the acclaimed documentary film on the removal of the Elwha River dams.
