Riverworks Gallery
in Greenville, SC, Features Works by Tracie Easler
Riverworks
Gallery, located at Suite 202 at Art Crossing on the Reedy River
in downtown Greenville, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Carolina
Cowboy, Photographs by Tracie Easler, on view through Feb.
28, 2010. The exhibition is sponsored by the Department of Visual
and Performing Arts at the Greenville Technical College/Greer
Campus.
Easler's riveting photographic portraits document the cultural
anomaly of the South Carolina cowboy. The Carolina Cowboy
series is a collection of environmental portraits produced using
processes from the 19th and the 21st centuries. The images are
intended to serve as a reflection of the lifestyle of each individual.
Easler utilizes both 35mm digital and 4x5 large format film cameras
to make the portraits. The images are presented utilizing the
antique process of platinum/palladium and the modern technique
of archival inkjet printing. "Photography fuels my personal
expression in ways that words cannot," say Easler.
In addition to being enrolled as a photography student in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Greenville Technical College, Easler is the mother of three children under fourteen, a wife, a homemaker, a ranch hand, a gardener and a cook. She is also a rodeo promoter and a calf and team roper.
Easler was selected
as the 2009 recipient of EMRYS Foundation grant, the Alice Conger
Patterson Scholarship, from a group of over fifty applicants.
The scholarship is designed to encourage South Carolina women
to pursue continuing education or to develop a creative endeavor.
Riverworks Gallery is a small student art gallery operated by
the faculty and students from the Department of Visual and Performing
Arts at Greenville Technical College.
