Northern Essex Community College’s Linda Hummel-Shea ArtSpace is currently featuring Los Angeles Photographer William Short’s “My Red America” online.
For the exhibit, Short travels back to rural Southwestern Ohio, a very special place from his childhood, almost 30 years after he had last been there. Once “magical, safe places,” he finds a different scene when he returns. “Both Winchester and West Union are shells of what they were when I was a child,” he explains. “Unemployment, poverty and drugs have taken over. Storefronts are empty. Buildings and homes lie in disrepair.”
