Jordan Morrow explores the globe with her lens, capturing times and details of her surroundings. After a current session in Hamtramck’s Banglatown, she knew she couldn’t opt for just just one of her photographs to explain to the neighborhood’s story, so she blended them as a blended-media collage, termed “Bits and Items.”
“When I photographed these photos, I was overcome with pleasure for the reason that there was so a great deal to see, so lots of smaller specifics, and so quite a few awesome items to photograph. I wished to display screen them collectively in some way and showcase how interesting this element of the neighborhood was although still providing it a personal, exclusive-to-me twist.”

A lifelong photographer, Morrow owns a portrait enterprise and shoots high-quality-art pics skillfully. Her photography passion grew even though she was in large faculty, when she gained a countrywide gold medal for her portfolio in the 2009 Scholastics Art & Composing Awards.
“Bits and Pieces” was her very first time creating a collage since she was a kid, and she liked the nostalgia it brought her.
“When I was very little, producing collages out of journal images was my complete favorite matter to do,” states Morrow, of Waterford Township. “I hadn’t manufactured a collage in years right until I photographed these photographs and just had the sensation that they had to be made into a collage challenge.”
“Bits and Pieces” functions her authentic digital picture prints, as well as what she phone calls identified treasures, together with cash and aged jewelry. The combined-media collage is highlighted in Lawrence Avenue Gallery’s “EXPOSURES: Pictures ’21” show via April 30. The exhibit, juried by Detroit portrait photographer Jenny Risher, options a variety of performs, from portraits to photograph illustrations and landscape captures. Receptions for the show are prepared on April 9 and 18.

This is Morrow’s 3rd time displaying in “EXPOSURES,” and she states she is thrilled to listen to people’s thoughts about her approach this calendar year.
“I took a chance entering this piece into the clearly show due to the fact I did not know if or how it would be obtained,” Morrow suggests. “Creating it was so fulfilling and fulfilling that it felt well worth the chance to enter it. So considerably, the reaction has been favourable, and I am wanting forward to listening to what other people have to say about it.”
