About the Lucie Foundation Scholarship Program
Photographers make images. Visionaries teach you how to see. The Lucie Foundation is proud to support emerging talent with vision and dynamic ideas that challenge and progress the art form of still photography into work that compels. Our support of photography is broad, from Fine Art to Documentary and Photojournalism, to digital and film-based works. Our concern is to support emerging photographers producing work that is at once gripping, and original.
I had the opportunity to speak with Samantha Reynolds, Root Division's Exhibitions Fellow, for their blog. We discussed my obsessive need to understand a site from multiple perspectives, my process of working with layers, and experimenting with different mediums.

REAWAKENING is a solo exhibition by Natasha Carlos that celebrates the mysterious moment in nature where environment and identity come together. The exhibition will feature a photographic sculpture and stop-motion animation that investigate how the physical form of imagery can reflect multiple experiences in a single moment.
REAWAKENING is in the Frank-Ratchye Project Space from July 7, 2017 to July 29, 2017 and presented alongside WILD on view in the main gallery at Root Division. Curated by Marisa Aragona, Wild is an interdisciplinary exhibition of artworks, performances and installations that attempt to express the vast infinity of internal and external wilderness.

Curated by Lauren Etchells, Root Division Exhibitions Fellow, Back to the Garden examines the ways in which artists create order, find inspiration, and craft identity through the natural sublime. From houseplants to well-manicured gardens and neighborhood parks, the natural world is consciously interwoven into our daily lives. Featuring work by sixteen Bay Area artists, this exhibition explores the motivations and methods by which human beings shape the natural world into a reflection of their identity, societal values, and projected ideals.
