Untitled, 1975
black and white photograph
8.75 x 12.5 in

“Untitled (1975) was made on the beach. I was lying next to my wife Margaret. As I turned over on my side, I was confronted with what appeared to be an object flying through space. In the darkroom, as I made the first print, I realized that something was not as I had experienced it. Clouds appeared over the figure. In order to recreate the image as I had originally seen it, I manipulated the photograph to include a totally black sky.”

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.
