In the Deep and On the Shoulders of Giants
Jair Armstrong

Nov 18 - 22, 2025

Gallery 1

Roloff Beny Scholarship Recipient

Armstrong offers, "This show features both personal and professional photographs that highlight the complex, often interconnected relationships that form the basis of a versatile photographic practice. It pays tribute to the connections—made, maintained, or lost—that have brought me to this moment. Using traditional darkroom and digital techniques, I aim to explore what photo-visual archive structures might look like from a perspective of gratitude and ambition. I believe we are all Giants, and these are the shoulders I stand on."
