Love this! Can u tell me more about the motivation and how it started?

Hi! My mother painting the cinder block walls of the apartment we lived in from 1990-96 was the inspiration. Thanks for asking!

This is a contribution from Durham, NC artist Jim Lee. (A tiny reproduction of a painting of him on that business card)  That’s real concrete and it’s less than 3 inches high.

Ebony G. Patterson – Gully Godz in Conversation Revised I, II, III (2010) / 21C Hotel Museum, Downtown Durham, NC.

This past October I wrote to Ebony G. Patterson to request that photos I took of her magnificently ornate installation at 21C be added to this blog.  She gave me the green light, and I was thrilled.  I had to get back to my own work so I hadn’t made time to post the pictures until now.  I saw the installation for the first time on my way to Beverly McIver’s talk or maybe once before that, but it was exciting to see pink cinder blocks in a prominent artist’s work.  My “real, real” initial response was nervousness about whether or not the local art crowd would see my show in December as derivative of this installation.  I let that feeling go and pushed forward.  I absolutely embrace the possibility of artists that have never met tapping into some universal consciousness, especially if that might mean that I’m sharing some psychic inspiration with an artist as gifted as Ebony G. Patterson. Besides that shared element, it’s clear that we have different reasons for using the cinder block as a motif. That’s also what attracted me to the work; the idea that a symbol can embody a different meaning when filtered through a different artist’s lens.  This iconic form has so much potential, and she uses it in such a complex and lovely fashion.  THANK YOU, EBONY!
