Brooke
White, originally from Hampstead, NH, received her BFA in 1999 from
Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics in Printmaking
and Photography and her MFA from Cornell University in Video and Photography.
Brooke joined the Ole Miss faculty in 2005.
My creative work investigates the ways in which we are being trained
to
see today by mass media. I emphasize time and speed in our natural
world by re-emphasizing it in my videos, slowing elements down and
playing with perceptions. Subtle events occur throughout the pieces,
which speak to mass media ideologies and techniques. I hope to return
us to an innocence of seeing, during a time where we are addicted to
distraction. My photographs serve as a tool, which allow me to investigate
the role the landscape plays in defining who we are and who we become.
I am interested in emphasizing the universality of the landscape and
place by documenting landscapes that are very far apart geographically
but very similar in appearance.
Brooke has received several artists’ grants, most recently
she was the recipient of an Individual Artist Grant from the MS
Commission for the Arts/ NEA. In 2004 she traveled around the world on
an artist
grant to continue the work she was pursuing in graduate school.
Travel is a major part of my working process as an artist I try to understand
how other cultures, specifically agrarian ones, relate to nature.
My
research has taken me to Africa, Europe, South East Asia and Latin
America. Her work has been shown on both the international (Amsterdam,
Kenya, Italy) and national (PA, NH, CO, NY, ME, MA, TN, MS) level
in exhibitions and film festivals.
