For this month's Issue of Fete Magazine I wrote an article on Greenville's budding art scene. The article successes on sculpture and public events. Artists Carey Morton, Kymberly Day, and Ryan Callaway are featured. Its a great read and I suggested checking it out if you are looking for great things to follow and events to attend in the Upstate. 

Read the Article HERE!!!

The article talks about the Grandfather Tree installation featured at Rusted Palace Event at the Taylor's Mill held in April, The Phoenix Sculpture Featured in Vulcanalia at the Artisty Downtown. It also mentions local sculptor Kymberly Day and her Masks.

Rusted Palace: Grand Art and Music Show

4/13/2014

1 Comment

 
Last Friday April 4, myself and a group of other local artists and performers hosted the Rusted  Palace: Grand Art and Music Show at  The Taylor's Mill. It was the first show of its kind  within the old bleachery building complex with an estimated 250 guests! This event event involved an art show and installation showing during the First Fridays studio tour with a music and dance performance that followed at 9 p.m.  
For the show, sculptor Carey Morton and I built a large installation. The bulk of the installation was fabricated from tree branches found on the mill property. Called, The Grandfather Tree, the sculpture featured the face of the mill's landlord, Kenneth Walker, who has been instrumental in allowing artists to flourish at the mill.  The piece takes up over 15' of the wall in the performance space and towers over 10' high.  Our artist sensibilities made a powerful combination in the finished incarnation of this piece; It was so exciting to see it come together.

Local bands Wasted Wine and Morgan of the Pines provided the music entertainment accompanied by dance by Discordia Arts.  I must say the combination of the music and dance with our sculpture in the background was a quite impressive, and made a unique synthesized arts experience. The show was incredibly rewarding to work on; I can't wait to get started on our next project. The mill itself is inspirational and I know artists like us will continue to do amazing things there.

A Full Weekend of Awesome!
PictureHatsheput, Sculpture in progress
The first weekend this November was my first time participating in the local Metropolitan Arts Council's Open Studios Event. I had 460 visitors to my studio and  many wonderful conversations about my work! Sleeping Beauty  and Hatsheput (still in progress) were on display and I got many interesting reactions, I love what I do!

Since my studio is located at the Mill in Taylors, there were many other artists grouped in the same place. Visitors were able to see a variety of artist, very convenient!

I also had the honor of having two wonderful local musicians play during the event as guest artists! Lynne "Clide" Holcombe, a wonderful songwriter and banjoist and Rex Akins of Morgan of the Pines! Please check out their wondrous music.

Open Studios is a wonderful opportunity for people to come see the way artists work. If you  haven't participated as an artist or a visitor already, I highly suggest it! MAC is also hosting a wonderful exhibition, All Squared Away, in their headquarters downtown that includes most of the participating artists. that show should be up till December 6th. It's a great retrospective of local Greenville upstate artists and I highly recommend it!

If you miss out on open studios this year, do not fear! Myself and many other local artists, also participate in First Fridays! From 6-9 every first Friday of the month.

I am finally closing off my college education at the University of South Carolina. As a conclusion of my degree as a studio artist, I will be taking part in an exhibition with a group of friends whose work shares similar qualities.  Together, our  work creates a creative conversation that is sure to present an interesting experience. I will have both sculpture and drawing in the exhibition. The show will feature work by Rachel Borgman, Ashley Beredenzen, Sarah Brown, and Frieda Dean. It will take place on the 2nd floor of Granby Mills on Monday, May 7,2012 from 7p.m. to midnight.
