Juror: Dr. Rebecca Senf
“Nourish: Food as Sustenance and Pleasure”
Texas Woman’s University East | West Galleries / Deadline: 10/26/15
Theme: “Nourish: Food as Sustenance and Pleasure”
Food is the foundation of life: both sustenance for our bodies and the source of great pleasure. Juror Dr. Rebecca Senf is looking for photographs of food, defined in an inclusive way. She would like to see photographs that address what people eat, the relationship of food to love and nurturing, farming and food production, food allergies, repulsive food, food still lifes and even photographs about photographing food. Other types of food pictures are also welcome.
Photographers who have worked extensively on the topic of food are encouraged to apply, with the possibility that the juror could solicit additional works for the exhibition during the jurying process.
