Eddie Tigner, Inkspot Band Leader, Atlanta, GA. 2015 2015 6 or over 35 years, folklorist, Frecord producer and photographer Tim Duffy has immortalized Southern musicians and the world in which they live – not only through the photographs he takes, but also through his Music Maker Relief Foundation, which promotes and supports the enduring tradition of Southern roots music. Duffy’s non-profit organization was founded in 1994 to preserve the musical traditions of the South by directly supporting the musicians who make it, ensuring their voices will not be silenced by poverty and time. Since its inception, the Foundation has assisted and partnered with over 300 artists, issued over 150 CDs and reached over a million people with live performances in over 40 states and 17 countries around the globe. Our Living Past celebrates the distinctive sounds of Southern roots music through 25 iconic images of living Martha Spencer and Smokey, Appalachian Musician, Rugby, VA. 2015 blues, gospel, soul and bluegrass John Dee Holeman, Piedmont Bluesman, Hillsboro, NC. 2015 musicians. Duffy’s images of artists like Freeman Vines, Taj Mahal, Ironing Board Sam, Lena Mae Perry, John Dee Holeman and Huntsville’s own Ardie Dean, capture a sense of timelessness that is appropriate to the subjects. The images are made with the distinctive wet-plate collodion process – an early photographic method that includes tintypes. They are printed using the platinum/ palladium process, which provides the greatest tonal range of any photographic printing method using chemical development. For the display in Huntsville, Duffy’s images will be supplemented by a hand-selected array of related materials including musical instruments and ephemera directly tied to the artists on view. These include Captain Luke’s painted guitar case, Ironing Board Sam’s gold keyboard, Dom Flemon’s rhythm bones, and Ardie Dean’s hand decorated suit.

9 Encounters: Beth Edwards April 9-July 16, 2017 he Huntsville Museum Tof Art’s award-winning Encounters series continues with the latest exhibition in this long-standing showcase for outstanding regional contemporary art by focusing on the surrealistic paintings of this celebrated Tennessee artist, Beth Edwards. In her creative practice, Edwards approaches her subjects of enlarged flowers and animated landscapes from the viewpoint of a still life painter. Her new series of large-scale flower paintings are taken from small cross-sections of a garden floor or particular bloom. The artist enlarges the image to many times life-size, transforming otherwise inconsequential details into imposing and dramatic views of nature. When presented in this heightened manner, these works become both a celebration of nature and a meditation on the transience of life. Edwards’ previous paintings focused on vintage dolls positioned inside or outside of houses, with nature being Beth Edwards, Hydrangea VIII, 2016, oil on canvas, 40 x 48 in. relegated to small areas of space. During this period of her career, the artist was fascinated by the perspectives upon children. “I am drawn to these objects because way in which certain toys exemplify both animate and inanimate I cannot comprehend the decision-making process that has gone qualities, as well as the ways in which toys can imprint cultural into their creation,” the artist has stated. “To me, they are truly enigmatic.” Edwards was born in Decatur, Alabama, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and her Master of Fine Arts from Indiana University. Her work may be found in numerous public and private collections including the Howard and Judith Tullman Collection in Chicago, the Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis and the Tennessee Arts Commission in Nashville. She is currently represented by the David Lusk Gallery in Memphis and the Tory Folliard Gallery in Milwaukee. In addition to her career as a professional artist, Edwards has spent nearly three decades as a professor of art, initially at the University of Dayton in Ohio, and presently at the University of Memphis.
