Levine Museum of the New South
Through September 18
www.museumofthenewsouth.org

 

Author, scholar and renowned folklorist William Ferris has been working to document and preserve Southern culture for nearly fifty years. In 2013, the results of his work were published in the highly acclaimed book, The Storied South: Voices of Writers and Artists, which compiled decades’ worth of personal one-on-one interviews with the South’s greatest luminaries. The Museum is excited to host the related exhibit that was created and debuted with the book’s release at the Center for the Study of the America South at UNC Chapel Hill in 2013. This traveling exhibit features 45 of Ferris’ striking photographic portraits from the book.

She pours, scrapes, layers and otherwise manipulates paint on the canvas to create works that are rich in both color and texture.
