\"TheClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Local photographer Greg Sand comes across as a shy, somewhat mysterious guy. The same can be said of his latest photography series. Traces (on exhibit in the Planters Bank Peg Harvill Gallery through October) is a suite of sixteen digital images.<\/p>\n

At first glance the viewer is reminded of old family photos from the 60s. Upon further inspection one finds only the shadows and reflections of people who were once present.
\nGreg received his BFA in Photography from Austin Peay State University in 2008. He has won the acclaim of both jurors and audiences, winning numerous awards and honors for his work. In 2009, Sand was selected by critic Catherine Edelman and the Griffin Museum of Photography as one of \u201cthe most exciting new artists emerging in the world of photography.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg says of his work \u201cTraces is about memory, the passage of time, and the photograph\u2019s role in shaping our experience of loss. This series was created by removing the subjects from found photographs. Like the memories of passed loved ones, the reflections and shadows that remain vary in distortion and degree of clarity. These photographic mementos of the departed are left with only vestiges of the lives they once captured.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the viewer has no actual relationship to the removed subjects, Traces indeed conjures up personal memories in the shadowy remains of children playing by the water, a couple taking a romantic walk, and a boy running along a sandy beach.<\/p>\n

Through the month of October the galleries of the Customs House Museum are showcasing a variety of art including a rare solo exhibition by award-winning artist Camille Engel and a juried exhibition by the Cumberland Furniture Guild.<\/p>\n
