EAT: A Literature + Photography Installation

May – December 2016

The Norton Center sought works of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction centered around the theme of “eating,” and then paired those works with a photographic interpretation by Kentucky artist Sarah Jane Sanders.

During the winter of 2016 the Norton Center put out a call for submissions of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction for EAT: A Literature + Photography Installation. We sought pieces about eating in all configurations: literal, figurative, experimental, dark, nostalgic, satirical, etc. The literary works, alongside a photographic interpretation of each piece by noted Kentucky photographer, Sarah Jane Sanders, were displayed in the Norton Center’s Grand Foyer.
