397A Sustainable Approaches to Photography

Yesterday I found out that my Sustainable Approaches to Photography class has finally been approved at WWU for Summer quarter.

WWU students sign up on classfinder as soon as it's available!!!

I've been working on the research, writing the proposal, putting together the syllabus and navigating the process of many different committee meetings to try to get this class approved for the past eight months.

Massive thank you to Lisa and Sasha for helping me work through the tricky process of getting a class approved.

This class will explore some of my favorite alternative photography processes like anthotypes and plant based developers. And we will be looking at some of the new exciting research that is currently being explored on these topics.

I've been investigating more sustainable approaches within my own practice for many years attending workshops from The Sustainable Darkroom, reading as many academic papers and publications on the topic, and learning from other inspiring artists like Kari Varner, Melanie King, and Megan Bent. While I still have so much to learn and in no way am an expert on the topic I'm so excited to start the conversation at WWU and help students embrace photography with the planet in mind.

If you're a WWU student this class is available this Summer Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-4:50 pm and is available for Art and Non Art Majors. Previous Darkroom experience is preferred. Just send me an email at [email protected] if you have any questions
