WENDY EWALD | In Peace and Harmony: Carver Portraits
Acknowledgments
In
Peace and Harmony: Carver Portraits was
organized by the Hand Workshop Art Center as the fourth installment
of its annual exhibition
series, On Site / Artists'
Projects. Accompanying
the Carver installation were related exhibitions of Ewald's
work in the center's galleries (May 7 – July 25,
2004) and at the Children's Museum of Richmond (May 7 – September
6, 2004).
A book documenting the project is currently in production and
should be available
early next year.

Many people gave their
energy, enthusiasm, and expertise to this multi-site project. Foremost
among them is Shannon Smith, Principal of Carver Elementary School,
who provided invaluable assistance from the start. We acknowledge

Marco Baylor, Celine Crawley, Jovan Curry, Cevonte Jackson, Chai
Dasha Jackson, Chelbany Lewis, Latia Lewis, Kentrell McCoy, U’maana
Ricks, Tonette White, and Xavier Woolridge.

VCU Office of Community Programs; Jim Panos, Turia Pope, and Michelle Young-Stone,

Hand Workshop staff member Regula Franz, an
immensely talented photographer herself, has gone way beyond the
call of duty in documenting
the various sites of this installation. Scouting photographic vantage
points with her, over the course of many outings to Carver, has
been an especially enjoyable way to become better acquainted with
the work.
