Traces of the Past

Artist: Sean Crutchfield

Project: Palimpsests

Description In his series Palimpsests, film photographer Sean Crutchfield documents the places “where the past and present collide” in small-town Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Based on the idea that “the South is a place where traces of the past remain even as the people, structures, and environments around us weather and change,” Crutchfield’s ongoing project captures in soft focus and a faded color palette spaces and structures worn away by sunshine and the passage of time.

 


Eyes on the South&\#xA0;is curated by&\#xA0;Jeff Rich. The weekly series features selections of current work from Southern artists, or artists whose photography concerns the South.
