FIT Art and Design Faculty Exhibition 2011
Kingsley Parker, a multi-media artist, has been a full-time member of FIT’s Communication Design Department for the past 15 years. 'up river' is, in many ways, a romance -- Professor Parker’s romance with the Hudson River which he has been intimately connected with since he and his family left Brooklyn to settle permanently in Hudson, NY. Commuting to New York along the river on an almost daily basis, Professor Parker -- whose body of work already reflected an interest in mapping and boats -- became enamored with the Hudson as an idea, as a resource, and as a thing of beauty. The sewn nautical chart is 61 linear feet long and is accompanied by small ‘vignettes’ (in 2 and 3 dimensions) depicting life, commerce, and activities on the river. The exhibition also includes prints and sculpture.
