2008 Artist Projects Recipients Eliza N. Gregory – Fuse: Portraits of Refugee Households in Metropolitan Phoenix. The photographer will be making portraits of resettled refugees in Phoenix using a large format camera. Gregory’s project examines the subjective element, or fine art aspect, of documentary photography, thereby revealing another layer of truth that is inherent in portraiture—the emotional truth. The project will document 3 Liberian refugee families that have been resettled in the Phoenix area. Gregory lives in Tempe. Panel Comments: Gregory’s ambitious documentary will address the convergence of cultures and universal human experiences. Here is an artist looking at the project with an outcome. Her partnerships with refugee organizations will enable her to disseminate the photographs in ways that will be meaningful for the families she is collaborating with.
