HATHAWAY is proud to present The Vanishing, a solo exhibition of new works by John Folsom. In this new series Folsom explores the picturesque beauty of Louisiana’s swamps while focusing on areas currently under threat from sea level rise. Working with a combination of media and found materials, Folsom presents the bayou as a transcendent wilderness while creating a document of a coast in transition.

John Folsom (b. 1967) is a multimedia artist born and raised in Paducah, Kentucky. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University. His work has been exhibited at the Gibbes Museum (Charleston, SC), Tennessee State Museum (Nashville, TN), Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) and most recently at the Mobile Museum of Art (Mobile, Alabama). His work demonstrates the narrative potential of images through the use of digital photography, mixed media, and found materials. Folsom’s photographic paintings have been widely shown for the past 20 years and can be found in many collections worldwide. He is currently working on an exhibition for the Mason-Scharfenstein Museum in Demorest, GA.
