Please join us for an artist talk from Nancy Floyd on Thursday, December 15th, at 6:00 PM in the Scalehouse Gallery. Floyd will speak about her current exhibition, Walking Through the Desert With My Eyes Closed, past works, and artistic practice. This event is free and open to the public.

Nancy Floyd’s interests include the aging female body, the passage of time, barren landscapes, and trees. She uses photography, video, and mixed-media to address the ways in which lens-based media can connect deeply with experience and memory. Floyd has received numerous grants and awards, including a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship, the 2019 International Center of Photography / GOST Books First Photo Book Award, and a 2018 Aaron Siskind Photography Fellowship. In 2021, Floyd’s 39-year self-portrait series, Weathering Time, was published by ICP/GOST. The book was longlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize, London/Frankfurt, and shortlisted for the Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Award, New York/Paris. Floyd’s work has been exhibited in numerous venues, including The High Museum of Art (Atlanta, GA), The Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago, IL), PhEST International Photography Festival (Monopoli, Italy); Blue Sky Gallery (Portland, OR); CUE Art Foundation (NYC); and Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum (San Antonio, TX). Floyd’s artwork is in the collection of the Center for Creative Photography (Tucson, AZ), the High Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Lightwork (Syracuse, NY), and in numerous private collections. Floyd holds a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin, an MA from Columbia College Chicago, and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. She is an Emerita Professor in the Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design at Georgia State University in Atlanta and lives in Bend, Oregon.
