On October 12 at the San Juan Island Grange Robert Dash will share backstories to his current SJIMA exhibition “Food for Thought/ Micro Views of Sustenance: Threats and Prospects,” and his book On An Acre Shy of Eternity/ Micro Landscapes at the Edge.

Dash will trace different ideas about photographic image-making, artist purpose, and presentation of the work. This will be an interactive session with questions and dialogue welcome.

Dash is an educator, photographer and naturalist whose work has been published by National Geographic, TIME, and LensWork, and shown in galleries and juried shows in the US and abroad.

In 2016, he presented a TEDx talk entitled “The Intercourse of Nature: It’s What We Are,” and in 2017, published his Nautilus Gold Award-winning photography/poetry book, On An Acre Shy of Eternity: Micro Landscapes at the Edge. His new book, FOOD FOR THOUGHT Micro Views: Threats and Prospects, is currently in development.

“…like fragments of mysterious ecosystems that no one has ever seen… (They) are meaningful, visually poetic observations about how the things we cannot see can show us how our very lives can be under the threat of extinction.” —Lensculture
