Annunciation / Relics of Annunciation
by Michelle Chun
I am interested in the ways information, fragments, and materials exist, accumulate, and circulate within a community.
Reverent Marvels
by Maura Harrison
Borrowing a phrase from Julian of Norwich, I think it is important that “one should reverently marvel and humbly endure, ever delighting in God.” As a photographer, this idea directs my eye. Everywhere I look, I challenge myself to notice the beauty and marvels of God's natural world. In finding them, I hope to capture that beauty in a photograph so that I can share God’s marvels with others.
