    Watkins College of Art, Design & Film presents Photography Thesis Exhibitions 2011, featuring works by Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography degree candidates Lauren Elizabeth Heine, Camille Perreault and Patrick Sheehan, through December 16 in the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Gallery on campus.


    Lauren Elizabeth Heine, of Harvest, Alabama, presents an exhibition of digital color portraits entitled Uniform Identity. Growing up within a military household, Heine had to balance life as a ''civilian'' and a ''brat,” and discovered a great disconnect between the two: “There’s a shadowy veil cast over those within the service branches, creating what has been described as a secret world.” The project Uniform Identity finds a common ground between the life that is considered “civilian” and that which is “military” by allowing viewers to visually connect through the memories and cherished treasures of those who serve and have served in the United States Armed Forces.


    Camille Perreault, of Nashville, offers State of Change, a documentary series of black and white portraits and landscapes that investigates changes that have taken place in Iowa as modern farming has progressed from small farms to large-scale, agribusiness endeavors. An Iowa native whose grandparents were farmers, Perreault has witnessed firsthand the shrinking number of family farms, as technology has made it easier to cultivate huge areas of land: “This series interested me because my home state happens to be the state that produces more corn than any other, and corn is such a central part of our country's economy. The process of traveling back and forth to my home state to create these images became almost as important as the photographs themselves. Meeting farmers and hearing their personal stories, as well as spending hours driving through rural farmland and watching the corn grow, have given me a richer understanding of the place I was born.”

    Patrick Sheehan displays large format, color photographs in his show New Hallucinations. A Nashville native, Sheehan is interested in how daily routines create automatic responses to the passing world. New Hallucinations presents an assessment of the natural world, extracting ordinarily overlooked objects and spaces and re-contextualizing them within the confines of the photographer's frame.
