Ay Ay CRUCIANS: Twin City Historical Photography
By Elisa McKay
“Ay Ay CRUCIANS: Twin City Historical Photography” opens at Cane Roots Art Gallery in downtown Christiansted Friday, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. St Croix-born and bred Eddy White will share his passion for the photographic lens with his solo exploration of 15 images in color and black and white. The show is open until Feb. 28.
White was attracted to art as a youth and it was during a high school summer art class during his senior year that he was exposed to the tutelage of art teacher Anselm Richards, who invited White to the class. It was an advanced class.
“The other students were really good,” White observed. He was not allowed to use a pencil or an eraser,” he said. It was his first time using charcoal and his first encounter in the class was a 30-second gesture drawing.
