For the artist's bio they're looking for a CV, which I don't really have, and the artist's statement should probably relate to the theme of the publication:
The theme for this first JRNL edition is 'Sub-Lands: Material Lyricism'. The call invites works exploring the postmodern landscape and adhering to contemporary photography's shifting ground when describing environments, be they natural, social, or fictional.
I'm seriously handicapped here without an art school degree.
I'm sorry, Matt.
Tom, depending on how much you want to put out there, that's not a bad statement.
After lived trauma, sometimes the shifting ground is inside one's own mind. Describing the physical environment through photography creates useful filters for the information the artist's brain is bombarded with. Tom Scola has been photographing New York City for decades, finding real and imagined worlds within the everyday.
+1 for Jesse.
Applied for a contracting job this morning. Recruiter called, yay! Except it wasn't about the job, it was just a "so you're in our area now" call. I guess when I go in to meet her tomorrow, I can poke about this job.
