Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, Langley —
The 2019 Trudy Sundberg Lecture welcomes world renowned artist Chris Jordan, whose work explores contemporary mass culture from a variety of photographic and conceptual perspectives. Over the course of eight
trips to Midway Island, Jordan photographed hundreds of birds, documenting both their beauty and their plight as the result of massive
plastic pollution in our oceans. Edge-walking the lines between beauty and horror, abstraction and representation, the near and the far, the visible and the invisible, Jordan’s images confront the enormous power of humanity’s
collective will. His works are exhibited and published worldwide.
