Craig’s work examines the castaway places in our society. He comments upon how we should use these places to understand our past, present and future. “My work is comprised of everything and nothing. Large scale paintings of edifices that speak so much of the presence in absence. At times, my work can be construed as a sociopolitical commentary on corporations, and the effects of obsolescence, hubris, and avarice on communities throughout the world, while at other times a paradigm of existence, and its structure or lack of. I want my work to compel the viewer to look deeper, and to question.” said Craig.
The Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, while classes are in session, and is located in the Gladys C Fort Art Building on the campus of Coker College, Hartsville, S.C. Parking entrance is directly across from 306 E. Home Ave.
