Notice: this information is for a past event.

Denison’s Studio Art program welcomes Jeffrey Nilan. Nilan’s documentary-like installations emerge from the people, landscape, and structures of rural soutwestern Iowa. His work includes black and white and color photographs, artists’ books, video, as well as alternative photographic processes.

In May 1999, Nilan received an Master of Fine Arts in Photography from Indiana University at Bloomington. During his graduate study, Nilan began making research trips back to his relatives’ farms in Iowa. For the last three years, he has used black-and-white and color photography, in addition to photo-based artist’s books, to explore themes related to his family’s history and their current lifestyle as crop and livestock farmers. Nilan’s work is concerned with the rapid changes which are occurring in the farming community as a result of the ongoing farm crisis in America.
