1:30pm – Rachel Wolf

Rachel Wolf specializes in Photography and Light Installations. Many of her projects are experiments in which the external world is lensed in a way that considers inner reality and visual perception; photography implies an objectivity, whose impossibility masks potent subjectivities. One of her principal methods of working with photography is without a camera, and involves directly exposing photographic paper to light and chemicals. She chooses to return to these irreducible elements, the invisible tools of analogue photography, in order to produce a new, tangible photographic subject. This way of working with light in the dark led her to start producing light-based installations. These are spaces in which a viewer may find themselves in a liminal space between sensory  experience and knowledge, the analytical and the corporeal, perception and apprehension. Rachel exhibits her work nationally, and is an educator and speaker in the field. Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, Rachel earned her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art.

3:00pm – Margaret Jacobsen

I’m a non-binary parent who loves dance parties in the kitchen, all day naps, brunch at anytime, writing articles that challenge, raising plant babies, and leading discussions around dismantling patriarchy, societies expectations with relationships, how to take care of our mental health, and how to build community in all that we do. A photographer + writer by trade, who has fallen into strategy + branding, while teaching fellow humans about race, queerness, gender, and often times plants, and pop culture. I try to do as many things as possible, because why not?

4:30pm – Davis Hilton

I am a 23-year-old photographer living in Portland, and I love taking portraits. To be honest, I could photograph people for the rest of my life and be the happiest person alive.

I am a college student, currently working on earning my degree in advertising at Portland State University. I’m also a proud member of the LGBT community, and a Game of Thrones fanatic.
