2013 Frances Niederer Artist-in-Residence Dan Estabrook is a leading expert on 19th century photographic processes. In recent years, Estabrook has added pencil and paint to his Calotype negatives and salt prints to create contemporary work that explores universal themes such as love, sexuality, and death. Estabrook attended Harvard University and earned his M.F.A. from the University of Illinois. In 1994, he received an artist’s fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts. The Frances Niederer artist-in-residence program allows Hollins to bring a nationally recognized artist to campus every year. While in residence, the artist creates work in a campus studio and teaches an art seminar open to all students. During their time at Hollins, the artist-in-residence is a vital part of the campus and greater Roanoke community. Artist lecture, April 18, 6 pm, reception to follow. Exhibit through April 20.
