“Photography is the reaction of sensitive material to the energy produced by light. My work centers on this very basic principle. Parking Garage, Main Chamber #2 (1980) is a good example. In this work I record, without manipulation, the lights and shadows created in the early morning hours. The strength of this photograph, as well as other works of mine, relies on capturing the subtleties of gradations from the light source and the blackest of shadows. So black (the full absence of light) becomes just as important as the whites in gradations (i.e., the image made by the reflective light).”

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
