I have received grant funding to continue my “Farmers and Farmscapes” documentary tintype project! I am ecstatic to have been selected for both a “Rural and Traditional Arts Fellowship, and an “Artist in Community Grant”.
I am using this opportunity to continue my "Farmers and Farmscapes" documentary project in which I visit local farms, and make tintypes of farmers and their fields/crops/animals.
With funding from Shake on the Lake in partnership with NYS Council on the Arts, and Community Art Space, I was able to scale up my equipment and begin producing 12" x 20" tintype and ambrotype photographs using the wet plate collodion process.
I will be holding an opening on Friday, November 13, from 4-7 pm at Hale & Hearty Farm/Always Growing Farm, 58 Middaugh Road, Brooktondale NY 14817.
Funding for this project is made possible with support from the New York State Council on the Arts with support from the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature. Many thanks to @shakeonthelake for their work in administering the NYS Rural and Traditional Arts Fellowship!
