Beth Bailey ART399 Portfilio
No full textMy photographic work documents the landscape and plants in rural Western Kentucky and Tennessee. Through botanical specimens, such as flowers, I show the beauty of this area. I contemplate the influence of humans and the transformation of previously untouched land. Through landscape photography, in color with black and white film and alternative processes, I seek natural places that provide a calm and stable feeling.
Exploring the relationships between objects, considering the lines they create or the interplay of soft shadows, reveals a play of rough and soft textures, accentuated by mid-tones—a shared element with the three chosen artists. Many of the works render a flower that grows wild or a seasonal one, bodies of water, a forest or a rural landscape. A focal point in many of my works shows a symmetrical composition, emphasizing stability. In my cyanotypes and photograms, I rely on instinct and intuition, reflecting the manual skills ingrained in me growing up and my background as a former biology major. The inclusion of Buttercups (Daffodils) seamlessly honors my grandfather, fondly known as poppa, symbolizing beauty and life\u27s possibilities. His teachings, emphasizing step-by-step problem-solving, resonated with me, while my biology background informed my exploration of nature through landscape photography.
The influence of photographers like Terry Evans, particularly her body of work Prairie Specimens is one that I emulate because of our shared affinity for botany to document the ever-changing landscape. Dana Fritz creates photographic monographs of natural and constructed landscapes, both of our works, mostly use black-and-white imagery. Imogen Cunningham\u27s bold use of plants, characterized by striking mid-tones, center composition, and a filling of the frame, serves as inspiration. Whether employing cameraless processes or capturing landscapes each subject is approached with curiosity and respect, leading to a profound exploration of digital and analog photography.https://digitalcommons.murraystate.edu/art399/1161/thumbnail.jp

Review of \u3ci\u3e Sex in the Heartland\u3c/i\u3e by Beth Bailey
No full textIn her thorough analysis of six separate but interconnected historical episodes that signpost the sexual revolution in the university town of Lawrence, Kansas, from 1945 to 1975, Beth Bailey strives to identify the complicated factors that changed sex for good in America during the postwar period. Bailey argues that the sexual revolution has been erroneously characterized as a rapid transformation of sexual ideology that occurred first in large cities and then spread to smaller towns. Instead, the author claims that the revolution was actually a gradual re-evaluation of sexual mores influenced by government policies, the mass market, popular culture, technology, and national, state, and local institutions such as the University of Kansas, which, according to Bailey, emerges as the most significant locus of sexual culture change in the Sunflower State
