On View: June 28 – August 17, 2025

Public Reception & Graduation

Thesis Exhibition Artist Conversation

RSVP

Photographic Center Northwest (PCNW) is pleased to present our 2025 Thesis Exhibition, celebrating this year’s graduates of the Certificate Program: Martin Dorn, Keylor Eng, Victoria Hunter, and Holly Pendragon. This exhibition marks not only the culmination of the 53-credit program and presentation of a year-long project for these individuals but introduces a new generation of Northwest artists.

The PCNW Certificate Program offers a technically and creatively demanding curriculum delving into the history, theory, and practice of creating photographic work. During their studies students develop their own style of photography, engage in critical discussion, establish their work within a historical and contemporary photographic/fine art context, and build the foundation to sustain their creative practice.

Join us for their graduation reception Saturday, June 28th, 3-5pm, and a conversation with the Thesis graduates on Thursday, July 17th at 6pm. This exhibit is on view June 28 – August 17, 2025.

Many of the prints from this exhibition are available for sale in our gallery shop.

Martin Dorn
Fifteen Stones

Martin uses the stone garden at Ryōan-ji as a stepping-off place for an exploration of figure and ground, and the ambiguities of visual perception. River rocks and fields of grass are perceptual elements that express both the duality of form and emptiness, and their unity. Other dualities rise to the surface, such as between the permanent and the ephemeral, between intentional and random, and between natural and artificial.

Keylor Eng
Fast Forward

Drawing inspiration from Pacific Northwest history and architecture, Keylor Eng’s series “Fast Forward” reflects on how the landscape of Seattle’s South Lake Union area has been transformed from a forest of woods to one of glass.

Victoria Hunter
(re)Constructing Memory

In (re)Constructing Memory, Victoria photographs herself in the years her maternal line was the age she is now. 

This series of self-portraits embodies five generations of photographic evolution. It spans from 1864 wet-plate collodion through glass negative, silver gelatin, slide film and all the way to 1986 colour analog.

Holly Pendragon
Surrogate

These photographs are a surrogate for Holly’s own body’s sensations as she engages with the landscape.

Branches become the softness with which her own limbs move.
