Rebecca Norris Webb (born 1956) is an American photographer.[1] Originally a poet, her books often combine text and images. She has collaborated with her husband and creative partner, the photographer Alex Webb.
Life and career
She was born in Rushville, Indiana and moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1972 at the age of 15.[2][3] Originally a poet, she has published five photography books: The Glass Between Us; Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba (with Alex Webb); My Dakota, an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly; Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb: Memory City; and Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb on Street Photography and the Poetic Image.[4] The book My Dakota blends her poetry with her photographs of her home state of South Dakota.[5] Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,[6][7] the George Eastman House, and internationally. My Dakota was first exhibited in 2012 at the Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City, South Dakota, and exhibited at the North Dakota Museum of Art in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Ricco/Maresca Gallery in New York City, in 2013.[8] Norris Webb teaches photography workshops with her husband and creative partner, Alex Webb.
