Bear With Me 

Bear with me is a reflection of a year spent making images and traveling together. It is a comparison of how two similar perspectives experience the same landscape. Image-making, for many artists, is a compulsive trait--something innate that demands you pause to interpret a moment before it passes. Bear with me is a combination of these pauses. The work is reflective not just of the person who stopped to make it, but also of the people who stand and wait patiently as it is made. 

About the Artists 

Kevin Bond is an artist living in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It was there he cultivated a love of alternative processes and multidisciplinary practice and discovered the value of teaching and mentorship. In Santa Fe he has worked for Bostick & Sullivan where he expanded his knowledge of and experimentation with photographic chemistry, and photo-eye Bookstore where he is steeped in inspiring work. 

Lindsey Kennedy is a photographer based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Gender Studies before pursuing documentary photography. She spent several years documenting an early-stage Meow Wolf and experimenting with street and fashion photography.
