Artwork of landscape photographer on display at Waldorf College Gallery

Roger Varland

The work of landscape photographer Roger Varland is now on display in the Waldorf College Gallery.

Varland's images are from his exploration of the American cultural landscape. His work is described as "unsentimental images of the landscape and everyday moments."

“A Landscape of Faith: Contemporary Landscape Photography by Roger Varland” will be on display through Oct. 29 with a closing reception from 7 to 9 that night. Varland will speak at 7:30.

The gallery is on the main level of the Campus Center. It is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays when classes are in session or by appointment by calling (641) 585-8210.

It is open to the public, and admission is free.

Varland is associate professor of history and art at Spring Arbor University in Spring Arbor, Mich., where he teaches courses in photography and art history. Two years in Kenya and a semester in China have shaped his photography and classroom perspective. He and his wife, Deborah, also on the faculty, have taken students on 15 cross-cultural study tours to countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, Costa Rica and Guatemala.

Varland’s photographs have been featured in juried exhibitions such as “The Faces of Christ” which can be seen at the Christians in the Visual Arts website (http://www.civa.org/).
