The African American Heritage Center Presents: Art Exhibition Invisibility to Whom with Artist and Curator Greg Mills

 Excerpted artworks from the conceptual collection called Genesis 

 Toni Morrison, often cited in discussions about invisibility, is “invisible to whom?” it suggests that invisibility is a subjective experience and depends on who is doing the seeing. 
The visible edges of this art residency at St Mary will provide uninterrupted consecutive days and hours towards working on a series of creative visual art collages and surface art works. The experience and interactive relationships of connecting to a diverse community of Artists is another passage offering the rites of critical discourse and impactful opinions on how artists accept critiques, opinions and also harnesses creativity in a world of evolving A I presences.

I’m encouraged by the school of thought of artists opening doors for each other, and this artist summer residency journey is a habit I’ll pursue as I contemplate elevating and remaining productive even if it seems invisible.

My recent artworks are a series of art collages and surface artworks are constantly in evolutionary stages of creativity. In times just like the metamorphosis of chrysalises (my art collages and surface art series) emerges like the butterflies to be visible. The visual art and creation of sound art for music are in a constant traveling motion; all getting from one point to the occasion.

The art I create is a testament insisting that the creative form is there in the evolutionary process of function for visibility.
