TIFTON — Two photographers and one assemblage artist reflect on the passage of time, memory and nostalgia. Jack Deese, Diane Speight and Glenn Josey will each display their work at Plough Gallery starting with an opening reception 5-7 p.m., May 19.

Atlanta-based photographer Deese will display “Timeshare.”

“What was supposed to be a trip with my father to our family’s timeshare, became a solo venture after he suddenly passed away that summer,” writes Deese.

He spent three days in December 2016 combing through Myrtle Beach. He explored the beach to better understand his father and himself. The place was special to his father but he wanted to see if he “could find if it was more than a financial commitment that kept calling him back.” Deese holds a Masters of Fine Art degree in Photography from Georgia State University.

Speight’s body of work, titled “Material Memory,” uses found objects and materials like paper scraps, old photos and bottle caps. Her work “often centers on themes such as religion, family ties and memory,” according to her artist’s statement.

“My work is shaped by the materials I find,” she writes. “I love aged papers, as much for their texture and color variations as for the mysteries they contain. The printing, handwriting, stains — all clues to the other hands through which they’ve passed. The same is true for found objects. Rust, chips, scratches

 all contain information that I draw upon.”

Speight currently resides in Winder and holds a Masters of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Georgia State University.

Plough Gallery co-owner Glenn Josey photographs a “rapidly changing rural southern landscape” in his photo series “Unsung.”

“The deteriorating inanimate objects I enjoy photographing, I do not photograph in order to preserve, record or document their existence,” writes Josey. “Instead I photograph them as a way of conversing with them.

“They are telling me their unsung story. In that moment of the photographic discourse, I experience a peaceful unspoken acknowledgment between us; that they were once useful. That they were needed. That they won’t be forgotten.”

Josey is a Tifton resident and is a Clinical Nurse Educator for ICU/SDU at Tift Regional Medical Center.

This is the first photography exhibit to be hosted at the gallery.

Admission is free to the public and light refreshments will be served.

The exhibit will be on display for approximately a month.

Plough Gallery is located at 216 W. 8th Street.
