Jagger Dickman’s Senior Exhibition Opens Oct. 12 at VCSU Gallery

VALLEY CITY – Valley City State University digital design student Jagger Wayne Dickman presents his senior exhibition “Life Through the Lens” at the Larry J. Robinson Center for the Arts Gallery this month.

Jagger’s work will be on display inside the gallery from October 12-26. A live artist talk and reception will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 3 p.m. Jagger’s artist talk will be streamed live on the VCSU Art Department’s YouTube page.

“My work is about finding the beauty and the defining moments in life, whether that be the beauty in a chunk of land that a farmer works on in the daily life,” said Dickman. “Additionally, this could include that defining moment in a football game that changes the complexion of the game, or even an old dusty whisky bottle that no one has touched for a period of time. Finding the beauty in those moments and things is what Life Through the Lens is all about.”

After graduation, Jagger plans to head back home to Minot, N.D. He plans to work and start his own photography business in the future, exploring all sorts of photography that will create memories for those who choose to book with him.

Jagger would first like to thank his family for being there and supporting him through his time here at Valley City State University. Secondly, he would like to thank Professor Ekow Ephrim, Professor Angela Mirscov, and Professor Gratia Brown guiding him through his time here in the art program. Last, but most certainly not least, he would like to thank his father John Dickman for getting him into the art of photography.
