About this event
Mary Jo Hoffman
STILL: The Art of Noticing
Thursday, February 19, at 7:00 PM ET
Every single day for over a decade, Mary Jo Hoffman has made a photograph of found nature – no subject too small or too ordinary. For Hoffman, a former aeronautical engineer, this daily ritual cracked open profound revelations about the connectedness of all things, the importance of place, and her own life. This daily practice has culminated into Still: The Art of Noticing, a collection of breathtaking photographs from Hoffman’s enormous archive, accompanied by perceptive, deeply felt, and oftentimes humorous essays illuminating the insights she’s gained along the way.
Join Hoffman as she shares her artistic process, approach to mindfulness, and the concept of micro-seasons, inspired by a Japanese approach to seasons, which divides the year into 72 five-day bursts.
Biography:
Mary Jo Hoffman is an artist-photographer renowned for her unique and personal engagement with the natural world. Best known for her project, "STILL” where every day (every single day) for over a decade, she made a photograph of found nature – no subject too small or too ordinary. For Hoffman, a former aeronautical engineer, this daily ritual cracked open profound revelations about the connectedness of all things, the importance of place, and the creative life.
Her book, STILL: The Art of Noticing features 275 of the most stunning photographs the author-artist has accumulated over thousands of consecutive days of daily shooting accompanied by perceptive, deeply felt, and often humorous essays illuminating the insights gained through this daily creative practice.
Hoffman lives in Shoreview, Minnesota, on Turtle Lake, with her husband, Steve, a food writer and author, and her indulged puggle, Jack, who accompanies her on her daily foraging walks to find new subjects.
