Garin Horner is exhibiting his photography from the series: A Photo-Ethnographic Study of Private Spiritual Shrines & Altars
My images focus on intimate connections people have with places and objects that serve as focal points, where subjects feel strong links with transcendent beings, ethereal energies, and/or supernatural realities. Through devotion, presence, and attention, practitioner’s altar objects become infused with one’s spiritual/life energy. I collaborate with those who want to give voice to and celebrate their own distinct views within a multitude of spiritual beliefs. They are believers in a supernatural meta-ecology, or structure of subtle dimensions that co-exist with our reality comprised of various beings (or forces). Part of this view recognizes altars to be microcosms and/or nexuses of those subtle dimensions from which practitioners connect with higher powers, express their sense of devotion, and gain spiritual nourishment. 37th Annual Michigan Fine Arts Competition, Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, Birmingham, Michigan.

I was recently awarded the Adrian College Faculty Research Grant. My proposal was focused on continuing my photo project, A Photo-Ethnographic Study of Private Spiritual Shrines and Altars. At the beginning of March, 2018, I will go to Philadelphia to make images. If you are interested or know anyone in Philly that might be willing to collaborate on this project, please contact me about details. I am looking forward to meeting lots of new friends and making new photos. While in Philly I will also be attending the National Society for Photographic Education Conference. Maybe I will see you there! At my Artist Gallery Talk yesterday - A Photo-Ethnographic Study of Private Spiritual Shrines & Altars. The exhibition opened yesterday at the Women's Commission Art Gallery at Defiance College, Defiance, Ohio. Show runs from November 2nd through November 27th. This exhibition was possible, in part, because of a Faculty Research Grant from Adrian College.
