Jeffrey T. Baker
Jeffrey T. Baker situates his multi-disciplinary practice inside a complex web of what could be called the contemporary sublime.  Using photography as his primary medium, he considers how technology affects nostalgia and how spirituality affects technology. Baker’s pursuit of the mysterious in its many forms can be traced to his upbringing in suburbia and followed through to his explorations among the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. 

Baker earned his BFA from the Oregon College of Art & Craft in 2003. He has exhibited regularly while also teaching, writing, and working on a variety of film projects.
