STUDIO http://www.superluckyland.com/Aaron Canipe was born in Hickory, North Carolina. He is currently enrolled in the BFA fine art photography program at the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC. His work not only serves as a means to convey his story from his part of America but also as a means of preserving what’s he’s losing. He poses answers to the world around him in the form of metaphors. What remains is a convergence of ideas with a long, slow drawl. The mystery and the manner, the fortune and the misfortune, the stigmata, and Christian ideals in a secular yet staunch America. The ironic details found in his work are telling of his upbringing. He finds religious and nonreligious ephemera and personal symbology in a breaded and deep-fried landscape. His work is approached with a childlike trust in God and family and a humor situated between the dark and dry.
Carin Tillman creates conceptual photographs and spaces that transform natural or existing scenes into emotional and spiritual experiences—a waking from objectivity and this-worldness through emotional progression and movement.
