A Southern Verse
The rural south is a region in which every part of the past is very much its present. Peter Stitt’s collection of photographs are an expressive study of a landscape that can be, at times, both particularly straightforward and subtly peculiar. Each image is a contemporary representation of a memory, a feeling, or a meditation on the small towns of the rural South.
Currently residing in North Augusta, SC, Peter Stitt is a photographer who has been exhibited nationally and internationally, from Portland, OR, to Venice, Italy. A graduate of Northeastern University, he has studied and honed his craft through teaching, commercial assisting, and gallery management.
Working currently as a full-time artist, Stitt produces images that reflect on the social landscape and the way it shapes our experiences, past and present. With influences from street photography and the New Topographics movement, his photography speaks to a sense of place, time, and familiarity of everyday environments and the landscapes they create.
