Publisher: University of Washington Press
House and Home: Spirits of the South was a traveling exhibition that ran from 1994-1996. It was first held at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Andover in Andover, Massachusetts before traveling to parts of Georgia and North Carolina and ending in Florida at the Tampa Museum of Art.
The exhibition centers itself on the childhood experiences and sentiments of each artist through the built and natural environment and its subsequent decay throughout the years. The revisitation of these places of personal significance continue to form their vision of the American South and simultaneously shed a light on America’s history. Christenberry’s photographs of the growth of kudzu, Buchanan’s constructions and Belcher’s photographs of shacks between Liberia and the American South emphasize the passage of time and the importance of one’s cultural heritage in shaping identity.
