Jay Gould (b.1982 Minneapolis, MN) conceptually integrates scientific topics into tactile photographic works that ponder provocative curiosities, paradoxes and the hidden world beyond our given senses. By combining modern and historic photographic processes with sculpture, Gould’s one-of-a-kind works invite his audience on a journey through space, time and a revisioning of what lies before our eyes. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, Gould received his BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire and earned an MFA in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He now is a member of the faculty at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Gould was the inaugural Artist in Residence at the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at Johns Hopkins University in 2016-17 and a 2019 Artist in Residence at the Penland School of Craft and the Elsewhere Museum. His work has been featured in publications by Conveyor, Ain’t Bad, Aperture, Mental Floss and the Guardian.
