I hope you had a chance this weekend to join me in celebrating local artists and authors at the June Key Delta Community Center (JKDCC). This has been an amazing experience full of creative inspiration, engaging conversations and a true sense of community. The story behind the Center itself is very uplifting and the building is a beautiful example of what can be done with green technology and a lot of ingenuity.
My People of the Stone series was on exhibit at the JKDCC for both days of the show: Saturday, August 17th and Sunday, August 18th. I was so honored to share floor space with such distinguished artists as Bill Rutherford, Alice Price and authors D'Norgia Price, and Kayin Talton Davis. I look forward to more events like this to come and I will keep you posted when they do.
I've enjoyed the whole process of developing my stone faced characters for the People of the Stone series. Each one has a unique personality that you can discern from the angles, movement, textures and pieces that I've pulled together in the 3-dimensional collages. I loved carefully choosing the stone heads for each piece. The shadows and textures reminded me of the expressions of faces. I hope you will have the chance to enjoy them.
To everyone who was able to come to the show, I am so grateful that you could make it. Thanks so much for your support. To learn more about this series, contact me at arogerswilliams@yahoo.com.
