Lawrence Hardy’s series “Zen Xan” covers his personal journey of working through childhood trauma and addiction as he seeks to see the brighter sides of life. Zen Xan covers three years of Hardy’s life in Aroostook County in Maine, depicting both the harsh freezing winters and fresh morning summers. The journey unfolds from rock bottom to sobriety, utilizing the transformative outlet of photography, a medium that breathes life into Hardy’s narrative. It is an arresting visual expression of a personal story of feeling lost and gradually understanding life. Beyond clichés, it persistently offers reassurance, telling those facing similar challenges: ‘You’re not alone; there’s always a different path’

“One by one, I photographed these disparate items, over a light box, on black-and-white film. With the objective studies, I sought to represent a cumulative reflection of Stephen Douglas, an impressive and singular artist, who had become somewhat of a recluse in his later years. As I made contact sheets–positive prints from the processed film–I began to delight in the unplanned relationships across the individual shots, within the overall grid of the seven strips of five frames.”
Artist, Jordan Douglas, talking about their artwork which will be featured in our upcoming First Look 2024 Showcase. Douglas’ work will be shown alongside the work of four other beautiful visual artists. Make sure not to miss the exhibit which opens on February 15th, and will be on display through April 30th, 2024!
“I hunt for this wild art, looking for patterns, color, texture & composition in subjects both man-made and natural; embellished by chance and patinated by nature, with an unspoken history of random events that can only be guessed or imagined.”
