FAMILY AS THE VERNACULAR
Collaboration with San Antonio artist Libby Rowe and Atlanta photographer Margaret Hiden
Room Installation, dimensions variables variable
​

Through their alternative image structures, Margaret Hiden, Libby Rowe, and H. Jennings Sheffield utilize vernacular imagery to convey an understanding of iconic experiences. These familiar encounters and interactions provoke viewers to make references to their own memories and experiences that are already a part of a culturally collective consciousness.

Hiden's series "15 Glen View Circle" explores themes of presence, absence, passage and memory, as well as the photograph's cultural role as visual validation of one's existence. In "(sub)Division", Rowe seeks to question societal identity through the exploration of the preconceived and perceived intimacy of ?the neighborhood?. H. Jennings Sheffield's series "Tethered" investigates the tethering-effect we experience everyday by portraying a 24-hour period of time during different days of the week as she attempts to balance different roles, interactions, and responsibilities throughout the week.
