EMILY HYDE

Inspired by the vastness of space and a deep interest in the intersection light, time and the human form, Emily Hyde, PNCA student, challenged herself to capture these qualities on film. The work draws from the SWF landscape, as well as the beauty and nature she discovered while working in Atwater Place’s unoccupied retail space.

The collection of acts compiled this far will be shown at 6:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. with questions and answers following each session.

Please note that content may not be suitable for children.
