Artist’s Statement: The Other Savannah
I like to think of "The
Other Savannah"
as the real Savannah.
Savannah has a million stories to tell, but she doesn't like to reveal her secrets to strangers. Approximately 6 million visitors come to Savannah per year, but the average stay is only 3.4 days. My project “The Other Savannah” aims to show that Savannah is so much more than just nation's largest historic district, and so much more than what people perceive in “ Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil ”. When you live here, you get to experience a collection of the little details. It is not any one building or fountain, it's the iron fence on the corner, it's the woodwork around the window, and of course, it's the people that make Savannah a truly unique city.
My goal is to show visitors and Savannahians alike what they may have been missing, what they do not realize right in front of them, or what Savannah looks like from a unique point of view.
