The fourth floor of the John B. Coleman Library will showcase the art exhibit "All Other Ground is Sinking Sand: A Journey Photographed by Dr. Clarence Talley" from Nov. 2 to Jan. 5, 2007.
The exhibit consists of 30 photographs and media works that document Talley, director of art in the School of Architecture, several students, faculty and staff on their Ghanaian excursion during summer 2005.
Talley recalls the artistic qualities of the trip as a Christian experience. "I was struck by the widespread and wholesale adoption of the word of God in naming and highlighting Ghanaian businesses. In Ghana's capital city of Accra it was impossible to avoid coming face to face with such display of religious fervor."
Talley's sightings as well as African artifacts can be viewed Wednesday through Friday.
Talley is an accomplished artist, author and community leader. His paintings, photographs, and other works have been exhibited nationally and internationally.
