Prior to joining Coastal Carolina University, Arendt worked as Gallery Director at FAB Gallery for South Carolina State University, and was also an instructor at the University of South Carolina. When asked about his work, Arendt quoted the scripture, “If my land cries out against me and all its furrows are wet with tears, if I have devoured its yield without payment or broken the spirit of its tenants, then let briers come up instead of wheat and weeds instead of barley.” (Job 31:38-40). He continued, “Art is labor made visible. The order, planning and execution of art making serves as a metaphor for the labor undertaken on my family’s farm. The land bound us to it and to one another. The work put into the land, livestock, and implements was our investment in our family’s future. We gambled that the rains would come, that the market would demand a fair price for our crop, and the bank would not foreclose. Labor became a tangible expression of our Harper, cut denim by Jim Arendt hopes.” Arendt went on to say, “Art making is Jim Arendt, Director of the Rebecca a way for me to echo the cycle of seasonal Randall Bryan Gallery at Coastal Caro- death, unemployment, natural disasters, lina University in Conway, SC, is an artist and loss I encountered during this time.
