my official bio: Corey George was born in 1975 in Greenwood, SC where he lived on his paternal grandparents farm. In 1994, he left the rural south to attend Memphis College of Art. He graduated with a BFA cum laude in Photography in 1998 and was awarded the Dolph and Jessie Smith Emeritus Award, given to only one graduating student each academic year. In 1999 he returned to the rural south to attend the University of Georgia at Athens, where he graduated in May 2002 with an MFA in Photography. Corey?s work has been described as elegiac and lyrical. His work mixes aspects of traditional photography and book arts with video and digital media, and deals with the poor usage of the landscape. His work has been exhibited throughout the south and internationally in the United Kingdom, Italy and Australia. He currently splits his time between shooting in Georgia and teaching in New York at Long Island University at Southampton. Klik naar het fields project.
