The photograph’s first stop on its journey occurs in the middle of America, in Wichita KS at the home/work spaces of Holly Suzanne and Nathan Filbert – Ekphrastix Arts. We were happy to welcome the photograph from its creator, Emily Hughes, as it begins its journey throughout the world as an ekphrastic object – traveling from artist to artist to inspire work and alter as a work in itself through posting, handling, and use (follow its life or join in its progress at Journey of a Photograph).
Here is what our hands and minds have made with/of it…Holly worked with encaustic and mixed media to create the collaged pieces, and I worked with paper and pen and then personal computer to create the texts that accompany. The first image is a copy of the photograph from Emily.

texts were composed with the visual works and this audio from Ludovico Einaudi:

I think it’s going to be very interesting to see the variety of responses to this photo and its journey. It has already changed so much and a new layer of meaning added… challenging!
for the record – the photograph itself moves away from us unchanged – we utilized scanned photocopies in the artworks – it heads North today…
If not physically altered it has changed in my mind nonetheless! A great start, well done!
thank you
Hi Nathan, I have just received the photograph. Going through the articles of previous participants, I have discovered that some links here are broken. Maybe you can repair them together with emily. I would like to see and read again what your contribution was.
After Holly left us (last February) we closed that site. I’m digging about for the stuff 🙂
I know where the actual artwork is…but the writings…
i see they still populate the slideshow at the bottom of the original post on Journey of a Photograph?! https://journeyofaphotograph.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/journeyings-10.jpg?w=544
Holly and Nathan I really love what you have done with this! The words, the layers, it’s fabulous. I shall spend more time looking at this tonight. The music is just beautiful too.
thanks for the collaborative opportunity Emily – we’re honored. Looking forward to its trips and emergences!

What has happened to the pictures here? They seem to have disappeared from the server.
It looks like the site http://ekphrastixarts.com/ is gone and the links are broken as a result. Maybe Nathan can provide the pictures and texts again to be put in here,
