Cynthia has selected archival images of Charleston and its environs from the Library of Congress. The images form the basis for photographic murals applied directly to the walls by means of a transfer process. The artist describes the result as “ visually analogous to the eroded frescoes of ancient Pompeii.” Her murals evoke the presence of the past in daily life through her selection of the structure and the imagery, both dating from the late nineteenth century. Cynthia says, “The project is a way for me to connect with my community through its photographic history and architecture.”
