Congratulations to Texas Woman’s University Alumni, Ross Faircloth and Ashley Whitt, for having their work selected by juror, Beverly Rayner, for the exhibition, A Mystery and a Dream, at PhotoSynthesis in Manchester, CT. The exhibition runs from October 3 – October 31, 2015.

That dream was fraught
With a wild and waking thought
Of beings that have been
Which my spirit hath not seen.
A Mystery and a Dream.

Life presents us with things and situations that are difficult to explain. We don’t always understand or believe what our eyes show our conscious mind, and yet the imagery and stories our mind’s eye shows our subconscious often seem real. The lines are blurred. What is true and what is imagined? A mystery and a dream.

This is a juried exhibition of images that address the topics of mysteries and dreams, inspired perhaps by the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.

Exhibition Dates: October 3 — October 31, 2015

Opening Reception: Saturday, October 3, 2015 | 5:00 PM –7:00 PM

Ross received his BFA from the University of Texas at Arlington and his MFA from Texas Woman’s University.

Ashley graduated from Texas Woman’s University where she earned her MFA in Photography in 2012. She graduated from UT Arlington with a BFA in Photography in 2009. Ashley currently adjuncts in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for Dallas County and Collin County Community Colleges.
