During his MFA studies at Goddard College, Kristofer Neely developed a professional artistic practice, often making marks on found materials and installing pieces in the local landscape of Spartanburg. Experimenting with easily transportable materials, Neely found the discarded shipping wrappers around the local lumberyards that his great-grandfather and his sons established after the Depression. This installation of large banners repurposes the utilitarian black and white surfaces of the lumber wraps.

Some are covered with paintings, others with text -- the ideas, poems, and images drawn from his thesis and portfolio work.

Neely's hope is that this installation in the landscape can serve as an invitation to continue a dialogue about the role of the visual artist at Wofford College, in the community, and in the landscape.

The exhibition will run from October 6 - November 5.  It has been installed on the Liberty Trail between Wofford College and Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.  Click the link below for a map!  The Liberty Trail is #15 on the map.
