Josh Winegar

"The base imagery for the Still Life Project are found photographs originally created with the intent of documenting and memorializing various hunting excursions. After the process of re-capturing and re-printing the photographs I then paint and draw on the images, recontextualizing them in order to explore, the dichotomies of violence & beauty, life & death, energy & stillness, and hope & despair." Josh Winegar graduated with an MFA in photography at Columbia College Chicago, and recently accepted a full time teaching position at Weber State University.
