Week on Edisto Island Leads to Exhibit at Nina Liu and Friends
Nina Liu and Friends
gallery in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit, Fragments
and Currents: Postcards from Edisto, featuring works by Jeri
Burdick and Peggy Howe from Oct. 6 - 31, 2000.
Camped just behind the protecting dunes of Edisto Beach, SC, in June of this year, Jeri Burdick and Peggy Howe found inspiration for a joint exhibition, Fragments and Currents: Postcards from Edisto.
The South Carolina coastline, hammered by storms and depleted by development is a changing and shifting entity. The north end of Edisto Island, site of Edisto Beach State Park and home to loggerhead turtles, countless varieties of bird and marine life, is a wind- and wave-swept spit of land that is rapidly being reclaimed by the sea.
This exhibition is a visual journey of the artists' week-long camp on Edisto Beach. Sheltering from rain, wind and sun under canvas and net, cooking and eating local seafood plein-aire, smelling salt air and listening to the surf - all these contributed to "being there" as they drew, painted, molded and collected for this exhibit.
The inspiration was shared, but the works are not collaborative. Burdick, working in clay, built sculptural forms that echo the life and texture of the beach; Howe, painting in oils and watercolor, caught the sea, the sky, and the coastal edge.
