Todd Stewart
began his career as photographer working for advertising and design clients
in Columbus, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia. In 2004, he received a Master of
Fine Arts degree from Indiana University. Since that time, he has been an
Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Imaging at the University
of Oklahoma.
For many years Stewart’s concerns as an artist have centered on the
relationships between history, myth, and culture. This work has included
a growing exploration of the American Landscape and a continued examination
of the question: does place hold memory?
Related to these concerns, Stewart recently competed work on the book Placing
Memory: A Photographic Exploration of Japanese American Internment. Published
in 2008 by the University of Oklahoma Press, the book is a contemporary
examination of the ten Japanese American internment sites of World War II.
Stewart’s photographs have been exhibited widely throughout the United
States, recognized by museum curators at the The Whitney Museum of American
Art, The Museum of Photographic Arts, Santa Diego; and publication editors
including those from Aperture and the New York Times Magazine.
