Life and work

Jude was born in Covina,[14] Los Angeles County, California, and raised in rural Idaho.[1] He gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Boise State University, Boise, Idaho in 1988; participated in the American Photography Institute's National Graduate Seminar at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, New York City in 1991; and gained a Master of Fine Arts from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge in 1992.[15] he was living in Upstate New York.[16]

Jude's photographic work "often explores the relationship between people, place, nature and memory."[4] he is living in Eugene, Oregon where he works as a professor of art at the University of Oregon.[1] He is the co-founder of A-Jump Books.[17]

Alpine Star (2006) contains photographs appropriated from the weekly newspaper in Jude's hometown in Central Idaho.[18]

Other Nature (2008) depicts exterior and interior details of "anonymous motel rooms and the stranger regions of the American landscape".[19] It combines two separate sets of Jude's 4×5 color photographs, made between 2001 and 2008.[19]

Emmett (2010) contains a selection of his earliest work, made in the early 1980s in central Idaho and edited nearly 30 years later. The pictures are "enhanced by "special effects" filters and cheap telephoto lenses".[20]

Lick Creek Line (2012) follows a fur trapper trekking in a remote area of Idaho in the Western United States.[16] "Through converging pictures of landscapes, architecture, an encroaching resort community, and the solitary, secretive process of trapping pine marten for their pelts,"[16] "Lick Creek Line tells a story, while constantly subverting it again."[21]

Executive Model (2012) contains photographs of American businessmen in the financial districts of Atlanta, Chicago, New York City and San Francisco between 1992 and 1995. It is "an exploration of the corporate executive as a representative type, as a locus of many of our unspoken assumptions about masculinity, social privilege, race, and power. [. . . ] In the majority of images in Executive Model, the men are seen from the back, their hulking forms filling nearly two-thirds of the frame. In other works, Jude depicts fragmented close-ups of turned heads or gesturing hands."[22]

Lago (2015) was made in the Salton Sea desert in Southern California, "the region Jude was raised in from the mid-1960s."[23] [24]

Vitreous China (2016) contains photographs made in areas of light industry in (primarily) Midwestern American cities, in particular "the ambient peripheral zones suffusing these environments: big rig parking lots, side exits, and other secondary spaces".[25] Jude's grandfather worked as a kiln operator in plants using vitreous china, an enamel coating applied to porcelain. The photographs are interspersed with short texts by Mike Slack.[25]

Nausea (2017) was made in a number of elementary schools across several Southern states in the USA between 1991 and 1992.[26]

12Hz (2020) was made in Oregon, California, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Iceland between 2017 and 2020.[2] [4] [27] Its larger first section mostly depicts tightly cropped views of rocks, ice sheets, volcanoes and raging bodies of water, "with only occasional minor appearances of flora".[27] Its second much shorter part depicts "tightly cropped parts of vegetation."[27] The work, made in black and white, speaks of "forces of ungraspable scale, operating independently of our anthropocentric experiences".[4]
