“Reptile Meat (1980) involves studies in painting and drawing which I have been exploring since 1977. The work combines techniques of paper making, as well as paper lamination, drawing, and acrylic painting. The bands create a repetitive structural system with subtle but distinct variations, which create interest over the entire surface of the work. The natural uneven edges and the skin-like surface quality of the work suggest ritualistic skins or a section of art from a forgotten past. Together these elements work to create a sense of visual organization and an interesting use of materials.”

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.
