Lancaster Squared

I recently joined forces with the Lancaster City Human Relations Commission to present a body of work titled Lancaster Squared. The exhibit will explore diversity of Lancaster city residents. Twelve initial portraits of city residents will be on display at Godfrey Advertising, 40 N. Christian St., Lancaster, during this year’s annual Lancaster Art Walk, beginning Friday April 20 -22nd.

Part of what I hope we help uncover and convey with this body of work is each person’s individual humanity and dignity, and the connections that exist between people and across some of the more obvious racial and ethic boundaries. Faces are amazing. They’re the way we’ve recognized and responded to one another since the beginning of time. They’re elemental.

Hope you'll check out the exhibit. Here are two of the portraits that will be on display - Nelson Polite Sr and Georgia Cox.
