Kevin Thrasher on Eyes on the South

© Kevin Thrasher

ETSU Alum Kevin Thrasher (BFA 2007) has photographs from his Common Ground series featured on Oxford American's Eyes on the South. 

Eyes on the South is a weekly, online segment featuring new and exciting photographic work made in the South and is curated by photographer and former ETSU visiting artist Jeff Rich. Although Common Ground is not strictly limited to the Southern portion of the US, Thrasher's work does investigate this landscape and its relationship to communal interaction and recreational use. 

Thrasher, who received his MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2010, is currently living in Richmond, Virginia. To see more of his work, check out his website here.
