Investigating how land use and social history influence cultural geography, Micah Cash uses the visual languages of landscape and architecture to explore narratives of utilization, demarcation, and ownership. Micah exhibits in both solo and group exhibitions and has work included in private collections throughout North America and Europe. Cash’s monographs include Waffle House Vistas (The Bitter Southerner, 2019) and Dangerous Waters: A Photo Essay on the Tennessee Valley Authority (University of Tennessee Press, 2017). Micah received his MFA from the University of Connecticut and his Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina. He lives and works in Charlotte, North Carolina.  https://www.micahcash.com/
