Today is the official publication date of Camera Geologica! In it, I shift the focus from light to minerals, considering the social implications of using mined materials in photos. Vast amounts of earthly materials have to be dredged up to make photographs seem weightless.

Camera Geologica is here!! A million thanks are owed to the brilliant team Duke University Press including visionary editor Ken Wissoker, Ryan Kendall and Ihsan Taylor who guided the book through production, and A. Mattson Gallagher for the beautiful design work (the silver foil!)

Today my students are so lucky—and so am I—to be hearing from Sarah Gould, who'll join my lecture on landscape, industry, and empire to discuss her work on environmental history and pollution in nineteenth-century British painting 🌿💞🌿

At 2:30 CAA Advancing Art & Design, Rachael DeLue & I discuss the lives & deaths of snowy owls in visual/material culture since the long 19th century. What do these owls have to say about human-animal encounters, science, collecting, colonization, & the extraction & displacement of Arctic life?

Were I in Chicago, this is where I’d be.

Absolutely delighted by how far the work on animals and art/art history/visual culture has come. When I started doing this work I felt like a bit of an “odd duck,” but now there are more and more scholars digging deep into issues around how we depict nonhuman animals. So great!
