Over Yonder Developers
Cummings, GA
A symmetry between a historical place and today – is what I endeavor to trace. It’s fleeting, often unclear and ambiguous – but the longer you gaze at a reflection pond, an old church door, a dilapidated building, and southern oak trees – it’s possible to gleam a sense of kinship. The place where we came from is the place where, we’re going is a constant theme in my work. What’s left behind, is just in front of us.
Through odd camera angles, an embrace of plants, intense light and shades of curiosity – we seek a twinge of the past, as it segues into the present. Historical images from Atlanta, Asheville, Aiken, Beaufort and Charleston – in addition to Great Hidden Swamp, not only offer reflections from the past troubling times, but also a gateway to a brighter space. By exploring the past, we can gain an appreciation of history, but also an empathy for what can be transformed in our current condition.
