Karen Shacham and I collaborated on the Art on the Beltline project this year. If you recall, I built a reclaimed chess table last year and decided to change it up a bit this year. Karen is an amazing Atlanta photographer and introduced "The Couple Series" (a series that captures photos of gay and lesbian couples) as a part of her thesis project while at SCAD. We decided to paint her black and white portraits and the surrounding space in the photo to create a mural that reflects the environment, as if the people in the portraits are trying to "fit in" to the surroundings. We were thrilled to see that Creative Loafing used our work as the cover photo in their piece, '2012 Art on the Beltline sneak peak'. Karen also had the opportunity to discuss the work last weekend as part of an artist's panel and collaboration between the Beltline and Wonderroot.
To get to our installation: On the corridor, it's directly across from Gordon White Park, just south of the Ralph David Abernathy bridge. Check out the map for more details.
