Nov. 22 University Forum has photographic focus
Carole Elchert, a writer, photographer and adjunct faculty member in communication at the University of Findlay, will present "Converging In-Sight" at a Bluffton University Forum on Tuesday, Nov. 22. Free and open to the public, the event will begin at 11 a.m. in Yoder Recital Hall.
Elchert will describe the significance of the themes in her photography, including return, remembering, renewal and re-visioning. Using images from photographic pilgrimages to four continents, she will discuss seeing and perception and the camera as an artistic tool, among other topics.
Images from Elchert's numerous trips to Tibet and Nepal have appeared in exhibits in New York, Los Angeles, London and Melbourne, and in art galleries and universities throughout Ohio and the Midwest. Some of her images of Tibet are in the permanent collection of Chicago's Field Museum. She holds a master's degree in interpersonal and public communication from Bowling Green State University.
