EXHIBITION: Pacing: Photographs by Dru Donovan, Melanie Flood & Tarrah Krajnak opens at the Schneider Museum, Ashland OR on June 13th 2024.
Curated by Yaelle Amir. The act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured, almost rhythmic manner, where each step is taken in consideration of the one that came before it. This exhibition grew from the ease and tension inherent to this movement—serving as a nuanced reflection on this duality through the lens-based works of three midcareer, female-identifying photographers – Dru Donovan, Melanie Flood, and Tarrah Krajnak.
