Sam Houston State University

Exhibit: Bones of Texas

Bones of Texas is a photography and storytelling project by photographers Morgan Page and Dustin Rice borne from a shared keen interest in Texas history and an adventurous spirit in exploring Texas landscapes.  The exhibit features the natural textures and patterns in Texas’ landscape, and the stark contrast in the dilapidation of the things left behind.

In the tradition of Modernist photographers Edward Westin, Minor White, and Margaret Bourke-White, photography duo Page and Rice traveled thousands of miles around Texas to capture their large collection of iconic Texas imagery.  Morgan Page received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Digital Media from the University of Houston in Houston, TX. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. She is currently an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Midwestern State University. Dustin Rice received his Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Mass Communications from Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. Both Page and Rice share a keen interest in Texas history and an adventurous spirit in exploring Texas landscapes.

Bones of Texas will be on display March 9 - May 7, 2023 in the exhibit gallery at the museum's Katy & E. Don Walker, Sr. Education Center, located at 1402 19th Street in Huntsville, Texas.  Gallery hours are:  Tuesday - Saturday 9:00am to 4:30pm and Sunday noon to 4:30pm.
