Eli Craven Artist Talk

Eli Craven spent two weeks in the amazing Herron School of Art darkrooms experimenting with found negatives using physical collage, double/multiple exposure, and assemblage. The artist will give a talk about his practice leading up to the residency, the work he produced during his time at Herron, and how the residency continues to influence his practice. Craven will answer questions from the audience at the end of his presentation.

This artist’s talk is free and open to the public. The event is organized by Herron School of Art and Design’s photography degree program in partnership with Aurora PhotoCenter.
