Jay Gould
Jay Gould (he/him) is the chair of the Photography Department. His research conceptually integrates scientific topics into tactile photographic works that ponder provocative curiosities, paradoxes and the hidden world beyond our given senses. By combining modern and historic photographic processes with sculpture, his one-of-a-kind works invite his audience on a journey through space, time and a revisioning of what lies before our eyes. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including a recent solo exhibition at the Walters Museum of Art in Baltimore. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gould received his B.F.A. in photography from the University of Wisconsin and his M.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art & Design in Georgia. His work, which integrates scientific topics into photographic projects, has won numerous national awards, such as the Berenice Abbott Prize for an emerging photographer, the Jeannie Pierce Award, and First Place at the Newspace Center for Photography’s International Juried Exhibition.
