March 11, 2024 - 8:00am Thirteen of Carson High School’s accomplished photography students have their work in Photo Finished 2024 at the Brick in Carson City.
"Photo Finished 2024," a Capital City Arts Initiative exhibition, is in the Community Development Building (the Brick), 108 E Proctor Street, Carson City, December 4, 2023 – March 14, 2024. The Brick is open to the public, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. The exhibition video tour with artists’ interviews will be online soon.
Participating students include: Jose Avina, Kylie Carrigan, Tyler Currier, Ella Dooley, Ethan Hendee, Keira Jacobsen, Zach Laaker, Eli Locatelli, Jamie McGee, Alex Nerska, Lorrell Service, Angel Vega, and Emily Walker-Candia.
Photography teacher, Matt Theilen, explained the students’ assignment: “The Carson High School photography students are asked to create a 15-piece conceptual body of work in which all pieces must relate back to their central topic throughout the first semester.
They are given few parameters, other than that work must be acceptable for a high school aged audience, must be cohesive, and must be printed to 11×14 format. Students are asked to choose three to four of their 15 total pieces to enter the Photo Finished 2024 art show. The works are a collection from Advanced Photo II and Photo III students.”
Jose Avina focused his work on portraits. Kylie Carrigan tells a personal saga through her images. Tyler Currier presents a Street Life series. Ella Dooley used backlighting to silhouette her minimalist black and white images of animals. Ethan Hendee aimed his camera at various landscapes.
Keira Jacobsen‘s series of close-up portraits asks viewers to see "Me Through Your Eyes". Zach Laaker comments on Abandoment with his series. Eli Locatelli gives viewers photos of abstract symbols. Jamie McGee portrays various states of Anxiety.
Alex Nereka photographed local rodeo events. Lorrell Service created landscape portraits from a variety of locations. Angel Vega created black and white compositions of used cigarettes. Emily Walker-Candia celebrated Carson High’s cheer leaders with her photos.
Sharon Rosse, CCAI Executive Director, said “CCAI looks forward to this annual collaboration with Carson High and is delighted to again present work by these talented students. Their professional work presents creative and diverse photographic achievements.”
This show is another in CCAI’s ongoing series of student exhibitions in the Brick.
