During May of 2011, twenty Humber College Creative Photography students and two professors embarked on a once in a life time trip to China. "Made in China" explores an array of beauty and traditional culture beyond the "tag". It brings to life the essence of China, a country of endless exploration. The photographs from the body of work "Made in China", will present various styles, formats, and genres through the eyes of each of the twenty-two photographers in attendance.
FOR THE MASSES – A PHOTOGRAPHIC PILGRIMAGE BY JAMES SWARTZ

James C. Swartz is a professional visual artist working in Toronto. Urban,
rural, and industrial landscapes have long been a subject of intrigue for
Swartz. His imagery explores the intricate link between society and nature,
combining the raw elements of growth, development, desertion, and decay into
eloquent, highly expressive visions that find beauty and humanity in the most
unlikely of places. During a 2011 pilgrimage in Northern France, Swartz was
enraptured by the beauty of the Church. This exhibit includes select images of
France and Italy, and focuses on the centre of the communities of Normandy and
Paris – the church. The glorious XII and XIII century Romanesque frescoes and
murals, which embellish the small pilgrimage churches of the Loir Valley, were
painted with earth and ground stones on wet plaster. They are a vibrant part of
this exhibit. Swartz's vision of the Church is truly "for the masses".
