Some years back in our Spring 2002 issue, we featured and artist named Whitfield Lovell in an article titled “Whispers from the Walls.” The Bronx-born Lovell, whose three dimensional tableaux—life-size charcoal drawings on pineboard, decorated punctuated with everyday (and not so everyday) objects, tell the life stories of ancestors, family, and once anonymous individuals. If you live in Atlanta or happen to be traveling there, the exhibition Mercy, Patience and Destiny: The Women of Whitfield Lovell’s Tableaux will be continuing at the ACS Gallery at SCAD located at the Woodruff Arts Center, closing on August 23.
