Ann sent me a picture she thought I would want to see. She was correct. It’s an interesting piece that addresses domestic violence.

It inspired me to look up the photographer. Her name is Sujata Setia.
She does not blink.

Our Story Matters is the title of an ongoing exhibition at the Columbia (SC) Museum of Art. The exhibition is kind of small (as you will see if you click through). Mostly because the pieces in it are more memorabilia and historical information than art. That said, it is an interesting display of Columbia’s equivalent to Durham’s Black Wall Street.
And there is some art. Patricia A. Montgomery is a textile artist who makes swing coats that tell stories. The one on the website now is not the one I saw. So, it appears that they are changing them out periodically. If I was closer to Columbia, I would make a point of going by to see them because the one I did see was impressive.
Sarah Mae Flemming was one of the people who stood up for the right to sit down.

And Ms. Montogmery made a coat about her.



This is such a stunning piece of glass art. I really had a hard time trying to take pictures. The fishes’ skin is incredible.

I was afraid I would get fussed at for smudging the glass. I didn’t. but, it was close.

Fish eyes aren’t particularly engaging. But, the skin is perfect. (Clearly it’s one of the not-very-scaly kind.)
This is very small.

So, I found the huge frame puzzling. (I’ve been noticing frames more in the last couple of years after a conversation with a friend about them.)

Makes me think of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof. I don’t think that’s coincidental.

My cousin is a big fan so I texted the picture to him while I was there.
