Greg Hayes [United States]
Greg J. Hayes is a visual artist committed to building a more complex photographic idea. His art practice, based on the idea that art making is a way of thinking, engages questions about the conditions of perception, and insistently investigates the resonance of time and experience. His conceptual goals largely determine the form of his artwork, thus he has incorporated drawing, writing, video and sculpture into a mostly photographic practice.
After an undergraduate degree from Northeastern University and a year of study at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) in Boston, Greg received his MFA from California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles. He has exhibited and published his work and participated in symposia and residencies in the US and abroad. In addition to making art, Greg’s creative practice includes teaching and community engagement. In recent years he has held faculty positions at Hobart & William Smith Colleges, SMFA, and Marlboro College. Currently, Greg teaches photography at Lewis & Clark College, and is the coordinator for the Exposures Program, a non-profit cross-cultural youth arts program.
Greg lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
