In the tradition of Modernist photographers Edward Weston, Minor White, and Margaret Bourke-White, photography duo Morgan Page and Dustin Rice have traveled thousands of miles around Texas to capture the natural textures and patterns in Texas’ landscape, as well as the stark contrast in the dilapidation that these things left behind give to it.
Each photograph in the exhibition will be accompanied by placards that weave stories of personal emotion and forgotten presence and absence in and around the remaining architecture.
Morgan Page received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Digital Media from the University of Houston in Houston, TX. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. She is currently an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Midwestern State University.
