Burlington, VT - Frog Hollow is thrilled to present “Expiry,” a solo exhibition by Stowe, VT native Jack Morris, starting April 1st. This evocative show uses a unique mosaic narrative approach, weaving a story through photographs created with expired film.

     We often view photographs as an unfiltered window into the past, an accurate reflection of reality shaped by the photographer’s eye. However, Morris challenges this perception using antique cameras and new and expired film. The unpredictability of this medium becomes a collaborator in his creative process. Morris embraces the dichotomy between photography’s ability to portray the world accurately, and the uncertainty of his analog approach. Without screens, live feedback, or guarantees of results. Every variable is determined by Morris, and any oversight means a moment not captured. “It’s the act of creating an image rather than simply getting an image.”

     “Expiry” showcases Morris’ keen eye for captivating moments, the life existing within them, and the stories they can portray. The fragmented nature of the expired film adds a layer of intrigue, inviting viewers to piece together the narrative and contemplate the beauty of life and the impermanent.
