Nancy Floyd is a photographic artist and Professor Emerita at Georgia State University. Her project, Weathering Time, consists of nearly four decades of anti-perfectionist self-portraits. “…the photographs show, in fractions of a second, my body standing in an environment (mainly, I’m by myself but sometimes I’m with family and friends) in a straightforward manner for the camera. As time passes, births, deaths, celebrations, and bad days come and go; all the while, the American experience evolves.” Floyd will discuss this long-term project and its greater context, which encompasses the human experience, family ties, American life, and the persistence of time and change. Lectures begin at 6 p.m. and are FREE. Reservations are required.
