In "Time and Place: Images by Bea Nettles," SCAD visiting artist Bea Nettles will discuss how the medium of photography is uniquely able to reveal the passage of time and a sense of place. She will share several book projects that address these themes including "Turning 50," "Seasonal Turns," "Stonecipher," "Return Trips" and "Place."
