For Sandra-Lee Phipps, a haunting first solo exhibit in Atlanta

by Felicia Feaster

A woman wanders through the forest alone, dressed in a poncho the same obscenely bright shade of orange as traffic cones and highway warning signs. The color and her solitude make her a beacon, a human exclamation point in the muted natural browns and greens of the wilderness surrounding her. The woman’s face is never seen; she is more an idea of “lost” than an identifiable presence.

Photographer Sandra-Lee Phipps conjures up an array of associations in her solo exhibition at Inman Park’s Whitespace Gallery — to Little Red Riding Hood, to crime dramas and missing child newspaper stories, and to any number of real or fairytale stories of girls lost in the woods and the potential for harm that lurks in reality or our imaginations.

Artist Spotlight: Michele Schuff Finds New Direction at a Residency Abroad

Leave a reply

Whitespace artist Michele Schuff is currently completing a 4-week residency at the Schloss Pluschow in Mecklenberg, Germany. Schuff, native Atlantan, traditionally works using an encaustic wax medium, creating colorful, glowing works with undulating surfaces. In her current program at Schloss Pluschow, a converted Rococo-styled manor house in the German countryside, Schuff is both rediscovering her roots and experimenting with new materials.

Artist Spotlight: Tommy Taylor on Working in Film as a Scenic Painter

“Ya see all them pink and orange tubes inside there?  … Well, they’re explosives”

You couldn’t pay me to get up every day at 5 in the morning and drive 30 miles to a dirty warehouse for a job…or so I thought. But, that is what I have been doing for the better part of the past 6 months. Traffic at this hour is nonexistent, the intersection at Ponce and Moreland/Briarcliff -generally a hideous place to be at any hour of the day – is just a blip in the rear view mirror at 5:30 a.m.

I am beginning my third feature film as a scenic painter. Continue reading →
