Joe Strickland

Joe Strickland is an artist working within the photographic medium. His photographs explore themes including privacy, gender, equality, social constructs, and change sparked by global connectivity. Strickland uses his work to examine ideas that are too nuanced to be encompassed by the experience of a single individual. His goal is to generate understanding regarding the divisive issues presented in his photographs so the audience may complete the work through conversation that spans a multitude of perspectives. Strickland believes that this will ultimately lead to greater understanding. His work has been widely featured internationally in galleries and museums in the U.S., Italy, and Ireland as well as in art journals, newspapers, and blogs.
