Doug
Winter

Doug Winter, a semi-sighted photographic artist and filmmaker, studies the nuances of his impaired sight and visual limitations through bold and experimental photographic imagery. In his 2023 National Endowment for the Arts-funded project, "Echoes of Perception: Essays on Vision," Winter's work emerges as a spirited rebellion, a poignant reminder of the beauty within the ambiguous realms of blurred boundaries and faded reminiscences in a world fixated on pursuing digitally retouched crystal-clear perfection. His exploratory photographs and innovative use of accessibility features empower us to revel in the poetic ambiguity of our personal narratives, inviting us to confront the innate human desire to grasp the intangible, to find solace within the mysterious contours of our collective humanity, and become an active participant, forging an intimate connection between the art and the beholder.
