We are very pleased to introduce photographer and ETHS junior Oliver Baldwin Edwards as the next featured artist in our ongoing exhibition series Local Art @ EPL. His show Traveling Light: Morocco is currently on display on the 2nd floor of EPL’s Main Library where you can catch it through the end of February. In August 2015 Edwards made his sixth visit to Morocco traveling from the Atlantic coast through the Middle and High Atlas Mountains and into the Sahara. Whether beneath the harsh North African sun or the clear night of the desert, his striking portraits and landscapes are alive with a maturing curiosity, respect for the Moroccan people, and a fascination with the experience of travel. You can meet Edwards and learn more about his photography at a reception on Thursday, February 18th at 4:30 pm, and make sure to check back with Off the Shelf later in the month for a featured interview with the artist himself. Stay tuned.
