— Curation

Camouflage & Calamity – March-April 2019.

During 2019, Davis facilitated and curated the work of Patti Carroll, who was also his mentor while obtaining an MFA at Lesley Art + Design, Cambridge, MA.

The atrium of the Hendrix College Art Complex – Building A, was wrapped in fabric to a height of eight feet to accompany the theme of the exhibit: Camouflage & Calamity, from the Anonymous Women series by the artist. Patti Carroll’s work is held by the Museum of Modern Art and many other prestigious collections.

“In 2017 I worked closely with the largest state park in Arkansas and with several of its Interpreters. Al Knox had made an inventory of Trail Trees, sometimes called Mystery Trees. Of several understandings, these bound and disfigured trees grow in the direction to a source of water, and Interpreter Knox used his water dowsing skills to prove their significance.

To date, I’m the only photographer to ever make a systematic study of Trail Trees at Hobbs State Park.”

“Travelling Route 66 before Interstates provides me a unique perspective to the Mother Road. I’ve crisscrossed the country on its pavement, stopped at most of its attractions, and lived on the road for several years in downtown Albuquerque near the Kimo Theater. Later, in 2015, Greg Disch and I journeyed with intention to the most colorful and iconic locations. It was fun staying at the Blue Swallow Motel.

A year later, in 2016, I celebrated these images in a solo show in Fayetteville, and in 2021 an image from this series was awarded Best of Show during the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum’s Invitational call for art.”
