Alum CC Calloway's solo exhibition Long Lasting Chew at whitespec (Atlanta, Georgia) will open May 11 and run through June 16.

Calloway writes: "There are moments when time feels like it is moving slowly, like you are waiting endlessly for the next day to come. Minutes can feel like days. In contrast, there are days that feel like minutes. The speed with which we experience life varies with circumstance but is not within our control. Invariably throughout our lives, our experience of time will always be shifting. However short or long-lasting this moment may feel, it is worth acknowledging that the speed of your life will change."

Opening  Reception: Friday, May 11, 7:00 - 10:00 pm

Originally from Augusta, Georgia, Calloway currently lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. She is a 2017-2018 Walthall Fellow at WonderRoot and an artist-in-residence at Atlanta Printmaker's Studio. In May 2017, she received her BFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art where she studied Printmaking & Book Arts and and will begin her graduate studies at the University of Texas, Austin this fall. She has written and self-published four books of poetry including one photography book entitled My Favorite Word is Nothing. Calloway's work is an effort to create a space of shared empathy. Focusing on present-day web experience, she questions how intimacy and empathy function in a world where information and resources are so easily created, shared, and expended. Through a process of self-archive, she collects and repurposes ephemera to locate glimpses of honesty in the fast-paced culture of the digital world.
