Exhibition of Photographs by Jonah Wright


Will Work For Light
An Exhibition of Photographs by Jonah Wright

Jonah Wright’s work pays homage to the beauty and solitude of the night. Will Work For Light includes twenty-nine photographic prints taken in the late hours of artificial lighting of the city’s nightscape. The majority of the prints feature light writing, a process that included his camera, tripod, a big flashlight, twenty to thirty second exposures, trial and error, and what the artist describes as “a good workout in all the running back and forth from the camera to write with light in the scene.” Currently featured in the Auraria Library gallery, the exhibit will continue through July 31. Available for viewing during regular library hours, the exhibit is free and open to the public.

Jonah Wright, one of Salt Lake City's own, is currently studying art and photography in Denver, Colorado.

The intricate working of the sterling silver gives the Eagle rich details, seemingly bringing the dancer to life.
