Kristin Nason: 16/28: Places/Years
 The title 16/28 refers to the 16 places 28 years old Umass alumni
artist, Kristin Nason has lived. In her artist statement, Nason explains:
“Initially, upon beginning the series, my ideas were focused on change-
specifically the changes associated with moving and relocation, and their
effects on an individual. However, as I began to work I realized it was
more accurately about a lack of change. Place and experience shape me, but
I move forward with the majority of my innate tendencies and sensibilities
intact. In addition, this series attempts to address the rift between one's
experience of place, and the detached objectivity of documents that describe
only its physical characteristics.
The use of only black and white film for the self-portraits, as well as
the absence of significant variation of facial expression, suggests limited
personal change, while the overlaid color satallite maps point to the place
where physical location meets personal experience.”When:
