Justin Clifford Rhody:
FRAGMENTS
FRAGMENTS consists of large format archival photo prints created across multiple decades and continents. Utilizing medium format and 35mm film, while also painstakingly developing, scanning, and printing the photographs himself, Rhody is decidedly more interested in a relational process to the work's creation than he is in delivering quick answers to its meaning (or advancing a possible career in the gallery-museum complex for that matter). Pulling from multiple bodies of work, this exhibition embraces the seemingly disjointed nature of a life lived when viewed mid-process. All secrets will continue to be withheld or exist only as a projection of the viewers themselves.
