Melinda Hurst Frye photographically celebrates the ecology of Cascadia while bearing witness to the ecological science and cycles of the understory of the Pacific Northwest, often at ground level and below. Hurst Frye intentionally slows down her own seeing by primarily working with a flatbed scanner as a camera, both in the field and in the studio, to allow for the space and time to connect with the protagonists and assemblages of her surroundings and the forest floor.
Hurst Frye’s work has been featured in publications for both art and science, varied exhibitions, and institutional collections. Melinda Hurst Frye holds an MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, teaches regularly in the Seattle area, and lives adjacent to an urban forest with her family. Melinda Hurst Frye is represented by J. Rinehart Gallery. |
