Music as the Medium: The Artistry of Clay Rice

Imagine the troubadours of old as they walked the back roads of … some quiet place, with mandolins or banjos in-hand, a song on their lips and through those songs telling stories. Not of fantasy or fiction. They sang stories of lives simply lived. That is the imagery conveyed by a conversation with Clay Rice about how music influences his visual art. You see, Mr. Rice is famed for his silhouettes of children, nature and life along the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
He carries on a family tradition, first made notable by his grandfather, Carew Rice. Most of the biographies I found about the Rices emphasized their artistry with paper, but during our brief chat, Mr. Rice made it clear that music has always been a part of his family’s life, and that songs have always been woven into his work, especially his children’s books. Read more of our conversation here. Enjoy!
the purple files

In sorting through photos for various projects, I came across a cache of purple. Now I have the urge to buy some purple marbles at the toy store, an eggplant and some grapes from the farmer’s market, and maybe pick up some purple paint chips from the hardware store. Who knows what purples may appear in the near future. Maybe I’ll even photograph a purple crayon. 😉

Raspberry Dreams

When I looked outside my ktichen window this morning I saw a blanket of clouds covering the sky. Every color was muted. People moved by at a meandering pace with umbrellas tucked beneath their arms. No one seemed particularly sad or depressed by the weather, just lost in thought, as if walking in a waking dream. Dreams … that’s what I thought of as I snapped these photos of raspberries from this morning’s breakfast.
