"Mum" and "Halfway to Midland"

SEE EVENT DETAILS
For the first time on the West Coast, Texas native, Nancy Newberry will be presenting work from two series Mum and Halfway to Midland. Both series explore Nancy’s ongoing fascination with regalia but neither body of work is simply about documentation. Nancy states that “customs are vital in defining all cultures” and that “Mum is a survey of my own backyard exploring themes of self-representation and strange rituals of the everyday.” The work has been exhibited internationally and has been awarded not only Fotofest Discovery but was included in the National Portrait Gallery of London's Portrait Exhibition in 2012, and has been featured in many publications including the British Journal of Photography, The Guardian, American Photography, Photo District News, Photographic, and NPR.

RayKo is unique in that Nancy’s exhibition from October 17 through November 17 will also exhibit new work from the celebrated ongoing series Halfway To Midland. This body of work was awarded the Descubrimientos Photo España Prize 2013, a prestigious award resulting from a rigorous competition associated with Photo España this summer.

Halfway To Midland explores a state of mind and a sense of place. Again photographed in Texas, her investigation of the iconographic “questions the relationship between the past and the present.” She further states that she is interested in “the complexities between self and culture where the chorus of dreams and reality seem to inhabit the same quotidian place.” Rayko will host an opening on October 17 where you will be able to witness Nancy Newberry’s work described as “semi-autobiographical realities that consist
of connected scenes from elaborate internalized myths.”


Many of the artists will be in attendance at the opening, so stop by RayKo for equal parts nostalgia and surprise.
