💥 Optics, Glass, and Image with @kimharty is back this fall!

Interested in photography, video, installation, performance, painting, sculpture, or new media? This course explores glass as a creative tool for making images.

Experiment with:
✨ glass and color
🔍 lenses and magnification
🌈 light, reflection, and projection
📷 photography & video
🪞 glass as screens, filters, and image-makers
🎨 sculptural and installation-based projects

No previous glass experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

If you’re interested in working across disciplines and pushing how images can be created, this class is for you.

Questions? Email kharty@ccsdetroit.edu

Never skip art class.

Spent the week with amiyahfilmedit and @ccs_precollege summer students cameras in hand, learning the language before they ever touch a client. Day one: copying rules off a whiteboard. By the end: crouched on a sewing floor, chasing light through a factory window, no permission needed.

That’s the shift. Not teaching a tool. Teaching an eye.

Every Memory Engineer starts here.

These 3D reliefs are from an experimental series I created last school year where I attempted to create my own landscapes instead of taking a photo of an already existing one
They were created using photos I’ve taken over the years and they were printed using the cyanotype process
You can see them in person July 18th to the 31st in the @officespace_mosaic group exhibition “METASENSUS”

Ten years ago I was on the sideline of a state championship Hail Mary by Martin Luther King football game learning how to see. Today I’m in front of a room young kids teaching at @ccs_detroit one of the most prestigious art schools in the country and I’m showing them how to witness, record, and preserve what’s in front of them.

This is the work. Not just making images ,building the next generation of people who understand that memory is infrastructure.

SEO 2026! My very last one ever :))
It was such a lovely show, the whole entire school made beautiful work. I was of course working intently until the very last minute to put my vision to the wall.

— I’ve been doing a pretty terrible job at posting my work! I’ve been so busy making things and trying to start a business—i have a one track mind and social media is always an afterthought. I will do better!
