Issue 01
Common Ground is an annual publication dedicated to featuring female and non-binary artists in all stages of their career. The press invites a guest curator to collaborate with the publisher for each issue. We are delighted to be curating alongside artist Kory Jean Kingsley for the very first issue.
Kory Jean is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Vermont. Her work focuses on dry plate photography, natural dyeing, quilting and ceramics.
Kory received her BFA in photographing and printmaking from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2015. After graduating from SCAD, Kory moved to Portland, Oregon to pursue her career in photography. During the six years she resided in Oregon, Kory worked as an artist assistant, a photo lab monitor, professional inkjet printer, and opened a gallery called Here/There. Her work has been included in several print publications and she has exhibited her work around the country and abroad.
