Charlotte photographer Micah Cash’s “Waffle House Vistas” exhibit is on display in the Storrs Gallery through Friday, Sept. 20. An artist’s reception is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 29.
“Waffle House Vistas” focuses on the built environment as seen through the windows of Waffle House restaurants from across the southeastern United States. The collected images contemplate the surrounding architecture of habitat and commerce through the lens of a southern cultural icon.
Cash visited 60 restaurants in nine states, including rural, suburban and urban locations, and documented the surrounding landscape and architecture as a way to ask questions about society and America’s social, economic and political divisions.
