What was one moment — a risk, chance discovery, meeting, experiment, or accident — that shifted your photographic practice in an important way? This exhibition explores those pivotal events — planned or not, recognized in the moment or understood much later — that transform our practice and push us forward into new and significant directions with the work.

Fulcra offers insight into the nature of artistic inspiration and the factors that motivate and sustain long-term practice. Transformational moments could could include:

* Connecting with an important mentor or collaborator
* Seeing a photograph that opened up the medium for you
* Moving to a new city or workspace
* Discovering a new photographic process
* Experimenting with scale on existing prints
* Finding a roll of exposed film with contents that move you
