Graffiti at the River
Submitted by John Lane on Sun, 03/15/2009 - 2:01pm. environmental art | environmental studies | glendale | graffiti | kudzu telegraph | Wofford CollegeMy first assignment for this semester's environmental humanities class at Wofford College may seem a little odd to the non-academic: inventory graffiti on the Glendale bridge and shoals.
Why graffiti? First, there's plenty of it at Glendale Shoals, and I'd once heard writer Alex Haley of ROOTS fame tell about how he moved his family around the South in the 1960s and always inventoried the graffiti in bathrooms. If the graffiti was overtly racist, he'd move his family on. He knew that town was rotten at the core.

If you don’t know where your edges are, then step into the presence of art, and you can often quickly locate them. Art challenges and it confronts. It questions and confirms. It can make you feel lost and it can also make you feel like you’ve never left home. Sometimes art’s an experience you don’t understand and others, it’s so familiar you understand it immediately.
