I was inspired to make this photogram by two things: finding in the New York Times
a documentary photograph of a house blown apart by a hurricane, and thinking about the notion of shape as form in high Modernist painting.
You see it across generations and media in the
documentary photographs Doris Derby made in Mississippi during the civil rights era (at Hammonds
House) and the charcoal drawings
of everyday people in Whitfield Lovell's mixed - media tableaux at ACA Gallery at SCAD.
