Getting to spend time with Meg Griffiths is always a treat and to have that time at PhotoNOLA focused on her new project, Somewhere Within and Without, was truly special. The work is unlike her other narrative projects about Cuba or the South or the West–the photographs are internal, conceptual, and personal. Created during an artist residency, the time and quiet allowed Meg to contemplate her life and place in it. Working with conceptual still lifes, where light and ephemera shimmer into new incarnations, she reveals that there is a beauty in the transitory nature of life, in those liminal spaces between the spectrum of emotions and events that come with being human.
Somewhere Within and Without received the Second Place nod in the 2018 PhotoNOLA Review Award. Meg will receive a Santa Fe Photo Workshops gift certificate. Some of this work was featured in a previous post where artist Cig Harvey and Meg interview each other for our series, Photographers on Photographers.
