Your Walls Aren’t That White (Part 3)

For Your Walls Aren’t That White, Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3, I photographed the interiors of Boots Contemporary Art Space, the apartment gallery Los Caminos, and the Luminary Center for the Arts. I focused on the concept of an empty gallery, and how space is transformed between shows, within a larger context; all spaces are in the Cherokee neighborhood, an area of Saint Louis in the process of a rapid revitalization. I used this context to think about how two very different kinds of transition, one nested in the other, can be represented in a series of images.

For my exhibition Your walls aren’t that white, Part 3 at the Luminary Center for the Arts, I focused on the concept of transitional architecture, and how space is transformed between past venues of commerce to a new exhibition space. My camera focused the debris and residue of the buildings past while compositions are formally composed to reference the future programing as a space for Visual Arts.
