Light Color Culture (Photography Exhibit, Summer 2023-Septmeber 2024) Rust’s career has given him the opportunity to photograph a diverse spectrum of the human experience both at home and abroad and this exhibit reflects stark differences from Rust’s rural Kentucky roots. By experiencing places so different from his own, he gained new perspectives on how the world perceives us and a new appreciation for what we take for granted. A goal of this exhibit is to portray other cultures with dignity, as fellow human beings, and not as stereotypes or “third world inhabitants.”
