Charleston County Library in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Melissa Fulton
The Charleston County Library's Main Branch
in Charleston, SC, will be presenting the exhibit, Pathways,
featuring works by Melissa Fulton in the Saul Alexander Gallery
Art Exhibit. The exhibit will be on view through July 31, 2005.
Fulton offered the following statement about her work. "The focus of my art work has dramatically shifted throughout the years of my life. Once, my mind and hands focused entirely on creating images that reflected only what my eyes saw. Eventually, I found that creating pieces using an abstract language, whether the works are about personal experience, theories, or sublimated energies, is when I feel truly expressive."
"Pathways, layers, the unruly trips that our lives and minds takes us on are all a part of what I try to express visually using color, shape, texture and line," continues Fulton. "The salt that is incorporated in some of the pieces represents the purity of our selves, our initial states of childhood innocence that we seem to forget and in the process lose as we 'grow up' to be adults. I like to leave the door open for interpretation for each viewer. Every person sees life through the filter of their own unique life experiences. That view, from no matter what perspective, is always subjective."
