“Fellowship” is Silver Eye’s international juried photography competition. For eighteen years this competition has recognized both rising talent and established photographers from all corners of the globe, and from the state of Pennsylvania.
Tim Carpenter has been chosen as this year’s International Prize winner. His project, “The ancien régime,” took form when he recognized a certain quality of black and white film negatives made in the heat and humidity of central Illinois in July and August. Carpenter decided to make pictures of the formal interactions between plants, trees, buildings and other structures and uses these images to consider what is timeless and “ancient” and what is more ephemeral, like a “regime.”
Rebecca Arthur was selected as this year’s Keystone Prize Winner for her project “The House That Built Me”. After the passing of Arthur’s mother in the summer of 2014, she and her family and grieved separately. Arthur had left home for school used the time away from her family as a reason to forget about the home that shaped her. After a few years, she felt the need to reconnect with her siblings and stepfather. When her sister had a son, she began to create images that depicted the new family dynamics–the loss of the matriarch the addition of her new nephew. “The House That Built Me” shows a new beginning and a family striving to stay together.
