LITTLE BLUE RIBBON | WESLEY BERNARD
Project Space Gallery
On view: November 5 – December 14, 2024
Reception: Thursday, November 21, 2024, 5-7 p.m.
Wesley Bernard – a northern Arizona native, photographer, and educator – embraces the process of the documentary story, offering viewers intriguing visual narratives. With the Little Blue Ribbon series, Bernard continues his agricultural documentation work, widening its scope to include the rituals and life in agricultural rural areas, specifically at the County Fair. This series is a study of young blue ribbon winners for livestock. Each image was taken on site shortly after the young farmers won and they are posed with the animals that they have raised, cared for, and competed with. The unabashed joy clearly visible in each participants’ face, often accompanied by the sweat and dust of their recent competition, offers a sincere perspective and displays their unquestionable dedication to their work. Bernard has worked as a professional photographer for over thirty years and is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography here at SUNY Oneonta, where he teaches traditional film, darkroom, digital imagery, and History of Photography classes.
