Finished Greenville Pieces
Acrylics, Toner, graphite, and collage on wood panel boxes.
7 X 11 X 1.75” each
Here are the Greenville-SC-inspired finished works. They each deal with an aspect of Greenville’s past and future.
Greenville 1
“Greenville 1” combines photos of two angles the old family courthouse that was recently renovated by Design Strategies. This is a great example of the power of design in revitalization. Design strategies has preserved the beauty of the old architecture while making use of an essentially derelict building.
I’ve combined these photographs with images and painting that focus on mathematical design and its potential for preservation of the past as well as construction of the future.
Greenville 2
This work is really about history. From long past handwriting to a more recent Greenville parking garage. Sometimes it’s hard to think of more recent things in a historical perspective. New buildings are constructed, sometimes without regard for their future impact.
Greenville 3
“Greenville 3” focuses on Greenville’s history of faith. Open religious activity is part of a growing and active community. To underscore this organic relationship I have paired digital photos of one of Greenville’s historic downtown churches and a loose landscape like passage.
Having trouble seeing the images...could it be possible that the images are too dark or need to be photographed?

The works themselves are fairly dark but the scans are a little darker than the originals.
I'd be glad to repost if you wanted to donate the studio time to shoot them. (hint hint hint)
