As director of the exhibition, Professor Katherine Mickle published the call for art seeking unique photographic works addressing the passage of time. Whether it is cyclical, linear, or a construct, the passage of time is part of the human experience. Time can fly, it can be fleeting, or perhaps it is simply a designation for the continuum of successive events through our lifetimes. Accepted artists are showing photographic work that reflects time through themes of past & present, transience, timelessness, memory, mortality, and change based upon the progression of time.

This idea originated during discussions among the Group A members and addresses the artist’s beginnings. The influences come from diverse places. Such early catalysts included artist’s childhood experiences, emotions, being inspired by books, objects, and materials available.

It provides exhibition opportunities for the group members and invited guests, and fosters an active dialog about contemporary visual art, art concepts and practices.
