About the Artists
Nancy Rexroth
Her work is included in numerous collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; De Cordova Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; and the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. More information about Nancy can be found at: www.nancyrexroth.com Kent Krugh Much of Krugh’s recent work uses x-rays to explore the micro-evolution of cameras and metaphors about the limits of evolution. With resulting images that offer insight into both the consistency of purpose each generation (of camera technology) carries and the variety of wonderful and clever designs of the individual (machines), Krugh’s work aligns with our inner desires to probe unseen spaces and realms which we might sense exist, but cannot observe with our eyes. Krugh currently lives and works in Greater Cincinnati. He holds a B.A. in Physics (1977) from Ohio Northern University and an MS in Radiological Physics (1978) from the University of Cincinnati. He began a serious study of photography, eventually attending workshops in alternative processes with Dan Burkholder and Craig Barber. His work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions both national and international, at Cincinnati galleries and art centers; the Houston Center for Photography, TX; the Center for Fine Art Photography, Ft. Collins, CO; the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center, Brooklyn, NY; the Minneapolis Photo Center, MN; RayKo Photo Center, San Francisco, CA; in Guatemala City, Guatemala and Medellín, Colombia; and in four major festivals: the Fringe Festival in Cincinnati (2010); the FotoFest Biennal in Houston, TX (2012 and 2016); the FotoFocus Biennal (2012), Cincinnati, OH; and the Festival de la Luz (2016) Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is the recipient of numerous awards and honors in both national and international print and portfolio competitions, including the “International Fine Art Photography Award”, Grand Prix de la Découverte, Jury Award of Merit, Experimental Category (2012). Krugh was a Photolucida Critical Mass Finalist in both 2012 and 2014. Krugh’s work is held in the collections of the Luz Austral Foundation, Buenos Aires; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH; the Portland Art Museum; the Cincinnati Art Museum; the Cleveland Institute of Art, OH; the Fitton Center for Creative Arts, Hamilton, OH; and the Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX. He is the author of several books, including “Inside the Gate” (Blue Sky Books, Portland, OR, 2014) and “Angel Oak”, an Artist Book in 3 limited editions (2013). He has also taught workshops in Colombia, in collaboration with the Colegiatura Colombiana del Diseño and Centro Colombiano Americano, under the auspices of the Universidad de Antioquia.

Tom Schiff Unlike most photographers—who might focus on finding an isolated subject for their work, Schiff embraces photographic tools which require him to consider an entire location. His custom-made 360? panoramic camera has the capacity to capture an image of everything in each setting—in front of, to the left of, to the right of, and even behind the camera. His negatives are often 6 to 9 inches long, and can demand novel approaches to printing. The final photographs provide viewers with rich scenery, which is simultaneously warmly familiar thanks to the inclusion of landmarks and engagingly foreign because of their curving perspectives. Schiff studied photography under Clarence White, Jr. and Arnold Gassan while earning a BBA degree from Ohio University in 1970. And he began experimenting with panoramic photography in the mid-1980s, making use of a Hulcherama 360 panoramic camera. He has published six books: Panoramic Cincinnati (2003), Panoramic Ohio (2002), Panoramic Parks (2005), Vegas 360 (2008), Wright Panorama (2010), and Prospect (2012). Schiff helped establish Images Center in Cincinnati in 1980, and he is the founder of FotoFocus—a lens-based art biennial held in Cincinnati. He has recently completed a book about the architectural legacy of J. Irwin Miller and the city of Columbus, Indiana.
