“For approximately three years I have been examining and describing aspects of religious faith based around Catholicism. After marrying into a family whose religious beliefs and practice are steeped in Catholic traditions, I have been balancing between my own beliefs and my criticism of the politics of such a powerful institution such as the Catholic Church.
Photography has been a way for me to examine those traditions that are new to me and see both the beauty and my personal critiques within the same moment. This photographic project has been my way of bridging the divide between personal faiths and politics and establishes, in images, a way for me to navigate this new territory aside from my biases.” –Jeffrey Ladd
Drop by, have a drink, look at some photographs and introduce yourself. (If Senior Whiskets panned your book now’s your chance to get even.)
The Eye Studio Gallery is an exhibition and work space for the photographers Ed Grazda, Jason Eskenazi, Doug Sandhage, Pedro Linger-Gasiglia and Jeffrey Ladd. The exhibition schedule will alternate between presenting original works of these photographers and exhibitions dedicated to celebrating the “photobook” as a work of art.
