November 4 – December 26, 2010
Reception and Panel Discussion Wednesday, November 17, 5:30–7:30 pm
In the midst of his study toward a bachelor’s degree in English and Journalism, Jake Anderson became distressed at his own indifference to homelessness. A decision to travel the country, investigating with his camera a world he knew nothing of and encouraging those he met to create personal statements, led him to complete a book and eventually share his artwork through exhibition. The personal statements alongside his photographs work together to reveal the subjects’ stories. Mr. Anderson hopes viewers will travel with him and share his understanding of homeless persons, who need warm, genuine relationships as much as a place to stay.
