Tideland: Photographs by Parker Stewart – Jepson Center
April 4 - December 7
Tideland is an exhibition of black and white photographs by Savannah-based photographer Parker Stewart (b. 1992). Taken between 2020 and 2024, these evocative photographs document the coast of Georgia by transporting the viewer into the visceral and primordial atmosphere of the barrier islands and inland waterways. The photographs show how the air hangs heavy on this ancient coastline, a place where the sea and the land entwine in an eternal embrace. Fog shrouded marshscapes, summer thunderstorms, dockhouses held up by toothpick pilings and details of old wooden shrimping trawlers are just some of the moments recorded by Stewart. These photographs depict a landscape of quiet grandeur, a place where the past whispers from the trees and the future is constantly being written on the tides.
