WELCOME

The Wild Life. Sometimes this time of year really does feel like the Wild Life. Winter is typically a quieter time of introspection and growth, but the calendar is just as packed as ever with tons of events that keep us running from one thing to the next. Growth, however, is one major theme that showed itself throughout many of the articles. The addition of new contemporary gallery, Beresford Studios, and their aim to cultivate exciting young contemporary artists like Chambers Austelle, for one. The way that Bright and Allison Williamson grow their personal collection by purchasing artwork that relates to special moments or fun trips taken as a family, for another. The rising food trend centered on collecting edibles grown in the wild is a passion shared by many, with a fringe benefit that it necessitates a lot of time spent in nature. Growth is most obviously exemplified by the impending move of Redux Contemporary Art Center, a mainstay hub for Charleston’s contemporary art scene and working artists, into a much bigger home, farther up the peninsula. Growth is undeniable and with that comes consequences, both known and unknown. But everywhere we look, positive changes seem to be happening in the Lowcountry, and for that we applaud our community members 10 | thear tmag.com

who are the force behind that growth. It’s a wild world we live in, but life is undeniably great here in the Lowcountry. Here’s to a season of growth for us all, Best,

Chambers Austelle BIRDCAGE by Matt Dobie

chambersaustelle.com

his past summer, while teaching at Redux’s Kids Camps, artist Chambers Austelle was inspired by her young students to bring a new attitude to her personal practice. “I’m just going to go in like these children, and I’m going to make sure that I’m exploring and playing and having fun,” she says.

the work develop and flow, it was kind of easier starting with completely different materials,” says Austelle.

The imagery is both beautiful and haunting. “It can’t be just pretty,” says Austelle. “There has to be something a little off about it.”

And her concept still centers on society’s view of women and their relation to beauty. But unlike her previous work, inspired by fashion photography and the plight of the modern woman, there is a historical context. “I started thinking of it as a progression,” says Austelle. “After the war, there was the baby boomer period, and it was like it was a woman’s position to be in the home. Our culture has developed and obviously things have changed, but so much of that mindset and culture is still seen and expected in our everyday life and world.”

It’s not a departure from Austelle’s previous work, rather more of an evolution. She still uses vibrant colors and female subjects, but, for the first time in her professional career, she employs the use of chalk pastels and wax pastels in concert with her old standby, acrylic paint. “Giving myself the time to let

And so Austelle’s portraits could ostensibly be that of a 1950s housewife or that of a modern woman. This duality made all the more interesting by the revival of midcentury home décor. “Using this furniture in my works, people won’t be like, ‘oh that’s 1950s,’ because it’s so popular today

The result is her new body of work Birdcage, a collection of mixed media works in the vein of classic portraiture featuring women isolated in their home environs surrounded by their mid-century furniture and stylish house plants.

“ It can’t be just pretty; there has to be something a little off about it.”

as well. Which really parallels the message I’m trying to convey.” Birdcage will be the inaugural exhibition at Charleston’s newest contemporary art gallery, Beresford Studios, and the freedom given by gallery curator, Neal Rice, affords Austelle the opportunity to create her own world within the 400 square foot space. “This is an issue that so many people are living with constantly,” she says. “So let’s not just have it be this work on the wall. Let’s do an installation. Let’s really have this idea come to life.”

Upcoming Exhibition Birdcage FEBRUARY 10 – 26, 2017 Opening reception: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH | 6PM Beresford Studios 20 Fulton Street, Charleston beresfordstudios.com

The installation aspect isn’t a separate piece of art; it’s the environment as a whole. It’s the midcentury pink couches (passed down from Austelle’s grandmother), it’s the fashionable houseplants, the oldies streaming out of the speakers, even the vintage mirror perfectly positioned so that, “If you’re sitting on the couch, you see yourself literally being one of the paintings.” Austelle’s stunning works of art not only delight the eyes and cause pause for deeper concentration, they also promote a dialogue that’s as important today as it was 60 years ago.

Herb Parker’s ENVIRONMENTAL SANCTUARIES by Matt Dobie

he structure sits in a clearing surrounded by an island forest. It’s rectangular—24 ½ deep, 40 feet long, and 11 feet tall—with walls of woven saplings and a roof of thatched eelgrass. There are two entryways in opposite corners, and once inside, you follow a labyrinth around one

corner, then another, and then another, until you find yourself in a small sanctuary with six seats around a wooden table and an open skylight letting sunshine flood the room. No, you’re not in a J.R.R Tolkien novel or some trippy art film; you’re inside the latest work of nature-based sculpture artist Herb Parker. Parker has been a professor at the College of Charleston since 1991, but his particular brand of art has always kept him traveling—the previously described Laeso Labyrinth was constructed on Laeso Island, Denmark this past summer. Opportunities for his large-scale work have always been more prevalent abroad, primarily in Europe and Asia. But Parker isn’t bitter in the least about the lack of a comparable demand in Charleston. “In a way, I’ve always found that it’s best not to get too involved in a local way because you get complacent,” says Parker. “You get your work out and seen by a few people locally, but when you don’t have that, it forces you to reach out.” Nature has always been a fixture in Parker’s work, but it has evolved dramatically over the years. “They’re always

20 | thear tmag.com


architectonic,” says Parker. “And for many years, the initial idea was just to create a sanctuary. Like a quiet, contemplative space in the landscape. And then the idea of getting to it became important so it had more of a passage to it, a corridor of sod or earth, or some way of being involved in the environment to get to the sanctuary.” Hence the labyrinth—a conceptual idea mirroring the journey of inward exploration—the first of which Parker constructed at Charleston’s Waterfront Park for the 2004 Piccolo Spoleto Festival.

But prior to that, the idea of communication had become prominent in Parker’s work. In Japan in 2001, he designed a structure based on ancient Japanese pit houses comprised of two tower-like pods connected by a large gateway that was built at the base of one of the largest waterfalls in the region. “And it was loud,” says Parker. “So you had to yell to talk to people nearby.” As the structure was nearing completion, Parker stepped inside and, though he had his expectations, he was still surprised by WINTER 2017 | 21

“For many years, the initial idea was just to create a sanctuary. Like a quiet, contemplative space in the landscape.”

the results. “[There was] a stone seat inside of each tower,” says Parker. “And they’re probably 15 feet apart. But inside you could talk in a whisper across it, and outside you had to yell to hear anybody. So that whole idea of a place of communication became very important.” That’s why every labyrinth since has at least two seats at the center, why in some cases he’s utilized the physics of sound to design his sculptures, like the Whispering Caves in Columbus, Ohio, and the Akerby Dialogue in Bergslagen, Sweden. Says Parker, “The whole idea became creating from the environment primitive structures, 22 | thear tmag.com

but giving people a place to sit down and reflect or discuss.” Parker may have his overarching concepts, but his artistic instincts have allowed his work to continue to evolve and morph, an aspect that is essential to him. “Thirty years of doing this,” says Parker, “and every one is different, which is kind of what makes it exciting. You don’t know exactly what you’re going to do and how it’s going to end up. Each time, each piece almost grows the next piece from it. And I’m always excited about what’s coming up next.” AM

BRIGHT & ALLISON WILLIAMSON Bright, Allison, Ben, Henry, and Chief the Australian Labradoodle By Stacy Huggins Geist | Photography by Karson Photography

“I

’ ve always, since I was a little girl, been attracted to art.” As a child, Allison Williamson would always find a special object to collect from family trips…a piece of art, a special rock, a shell from the beach, and her children now do the same. “Sharks teeth!” one of the boys chimes in. “I started collecting things like that.” Her love for art spurred her to purchase a piece of art from any travels. “It 24 | thear tmag.com

doesn’t have to be expensive; you can buy a little memento off the street.” PRESERVING MEMORIES THROUGH ART “One of my favorite pieces of art is from a trip to New Orleans, and I was determined to find a picture of some jazz musicians. The paint was wet, it was somebody on


the street that was doing this, and he had four of them. I wish I’d bought all four.” The scene was painted from a performance at Preservation Jazz Hall the night before; Allison and Bright had actually been at the show and seen those same musicians. “Finding a piece of art, connecting with an artist, or finding a story — or when you travel, that will bring up a memory or connection with that point in your life — that’s what I like to surround myself with.”

“Finding a piece of art, connecting with an artist, or finding a story — or when you travel, that will bring up a memory or connection with that point in your life — that’s what I like to surround myself with.”

“This is where we actually got engaged, the actual spot at the old Pitt Street Bridge.” Allison’s mother-in-law was taking a painting class with local artist Leslie PrattThomas when she saw this painting in the final stages. “She said, ‘Oh my gosh, I have to buy that. That’s where my son just proposed!’ It’s exactly like what it looked like; the sky was orange.” Opposite that special painting is a large photograph by Andrew Cebulka.

in around them. The image is relatively simple, but the saturated colors and the humor of the moment are striking. “I like blending old and new, photography and painting,” says Allison. There’s a large, stunning abstract by local artist Brian Coleman that hangs prominently in the dining room that is extra special to Allison. “I loved this piece in particular and I kept looking at it. Then the Emanuel shooting happened, and he donated this to the auction at Charleston Place. I walked in and I was like ‘Oh my gosh, that’s the painting I’ve been looking at, I’m bidding on it!’ It has this double special meaning, because the money went towards [Mother Emanuel Fund] and then he wrote a sweet email about why he donated this painting.” Coleman’s grandmother passing had compelled him to donate that particular painting. The work is certainly one of Coleman’s strongest, and it simply shines against the sea of grey wall above the fireplace. FINDING YOUR FIRST LOVE Allison ran a Russian ar t gallery in Park City, Utah for five years, where she became fascinated with Russian Impressionist art, and it allowed her to build a large collection of ar twork. Slava Roubanov is another Russian artist whose work Allison fell in love with. His work is all over their home. “I love his work. There’s always something emotional or dramatic in them,” she says. “Impressionism was the first art trend that I fell in love with. I did some classes with Parsons School of Design in Paris. We visited all the art museums and learned about the masters, and focused on the 26 | thear tmag.com


Impressionist era, so that’s why I was really drawn [to Impressionism].” Allison worked as a curator for the Don ZanFagna collection to help uncover his incredible catalogue of artwork. Decades of ZanFagna’s work had been packed away from sight. After the work was properly unearthed and catalogued, three museum

shows were organized. She became quite close with the family through the process, which made ZanFagna’s paintings and drawings in her own collection even more special to her. In 2010, Allison created the Charleston Artist Collective, an online gallery of local artists who create new works based on a theme WINTER 2017 | 27


Visual each month with a percentage of sales being donated to a local charity. “It’s a very diverse group of artists. I wanted to have some representational artists, some abstract, Squeakie’s a Folk artist. Some of the artists find me, some I find, to round out the group that we have,” she says. Giving individual attention to each of her Collective artists is very important to her. The entire Collective meets quarterly to discuss themes, charities, and shows, but Allison’s home is a revolving door; “The artists have been coming in here daily for six years!” Since our interview, Allison has opened a new brick-and-mortar space in the Old Village of Mt. Pleasant and launched Capitol Artist Collective in Washington, DC. The local artists and local giving focus of the Collective model have attracted new artists and directors from the offspring cities. It’s grown from a part-time gig into a four-city, full-time endeavor, and the artist roster only continues to improve. EMBRACING CHANGE “This wall is always evolving; we constantly change it.” This rotating gallery wall is filled with Charleston Artist Collective work, treated with an emphasis on approachability. Allison utilizes a wide variety of frames and styles of artwork that makes the wall dynamic, with depth and dimension, energy and balance. The eye constantly moves from painting to painting. “These don’t even have frames; they have Velcro 28 | thear tmag.com

A clerestory of windows brings in loads of light to the central rooms of the house, bouncing off the color and lending an airy, bright feeling to it all. “When we bought it, the kitchen was right in the middle of the house. There was this little door into this dark room over there. The fireplace was double-sided, but brick. We just opened it all up; we wanted to make it a real family house.

I turned around while we were having that meeting, and there was a Frida on the easel…I don’t think I’ve ever fallen in love with something so fast!” After seven months of searching for the right image to commission Right, Allison finally decided on this particular image of Frida Kahlo against green wallpaper adorned with flowers. As fate would have it, Right was already working on a new Frida based that exact image, and it was just a week away from completion. “So I knew it was meant to be,” she says.

Wilson is always on the lookout for “found objects;” he rummages junk shops and going-out-of-business hardware stores to add to his vast collection. Where one person sees a jumble of junk, he sees the beak of a Red-Tailed Hawk or the leg of a lobster. “It’s

SOUTHEASTERN WILDLIFE EXPOSITION Celebrates 35 Years by Stacy Huggins Geist

FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE SOUTHEASTERN WILDLIFE EXPOSITION IS A GATHERING OF THE PREMIERE WILDLIFE ARTISTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO CELEBRATE THE SPORTING LIFESTYLE AND CONNECT WITH ENTHUSIASTIC PATRONS. The rest of the expo is just gravy dressed in duck boots and Barbour jackets. It’s a fascinating mashup of art and the natural world, with hunting and sporting thrown in the mix. Creating a work of art from memory is a gift that only comes with tremendous amounts of study and practice. Featured Artist Ezra Tucker has that special ability, and with it he creates some of the finest wildlife art around. However, Tucker’s work bears more of a resemblance to intimate portraiture than traditional wildlife art by 36 | thear tmag.com

removing all distractions of setting and imbuing his subjects with personality. Guest artist Richard Loffler is a sculptor from Saskatchewan, and Van Marshall is a carver from nearby Summerville, SC. Loffler creates his breathtaking bronzes with such stunning detail thanks to a close relationship with his local natural history museum. Marshall’s interest in birds was encouraged from an early age thanks to a copy of Audubon’s The Birds of America. It is not surprising that an appreciation for the natural world engenders such gifted representations through their artwork. The Belmond Charleston Place Hotel will be filled with dozens more fine artists from across the country. Renovations of the hotel’s grand ballroom will be finished just in time for the expo, and the exhibition hall is also getting a major facelift this year. Expect the 35th celebration of the expo to be a truly elevated experience. SEWE patrons can dive deeper into the expo through the VIP program and gain unparalleled access to exclusive opportunities while providing meaningful support to the artists. Patrons can attend the black tie gala or the boots-and-jeans

PAINTING A NATION: HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL LANDSC APES

GIBBES MUSEUM OF ART Through April 23, 2017

FROM THE HIGDON COLLECTION By Amy Stockwell Mercer

PAINTING A NATION: HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL LANDSCAPES AT THE GIBBES MUSEUM OF ART IS A TIMELY EXHIBITION THAT WILL AROUSE FEELINGS OF NATIONAL PRIDE IN VIEWERS. The Higdon Collection includes 23 stunning works of art from the mid 19th century. Artists like Jasper Francis Cropsey whose Autumn Afternoon, Greenwood Lake exemplifies the intention of Hudson River artists to showcase the dramatic beauty of nature. During this time, artists were building a national identity through romantic and dramatic depictions of the country’s unspoiled wilderness. In later years, Hudson River artists began to look west and these works reflect the great expansion of 40 | thear tmag.com

the country. Albert Bierstadt’s view of the Cathedral Rocks: A View of Yosemite demonstrates this broadening vista for many artists, and the embrace of natural world as a source of inspiration. The Hudson River School was coined to identify a group of landscape artists living in New York City, several of whom built homes on the Hudson River. This was the first native art school in America, and artists were looking to create their own national identity separate from European painting. In her essay “From Sea to Shining Sea: Inventing a National Narrative,” Dr. Linda S. Ferber of the New York Historical Society writes, “Many Hudson River School paintings invoke the seasons, just as many others allude to times of day. Nature’s cycles and seasons are important tools of


landscape narratives as carriers of poetic, religious, and even national significance. The brilliant fall colors of North America’s untouched deciduous forests were also imbued with patriotic significance.”

Ann and Lee Higdon grew up in New York and purchased a 19th century home overlooking the Hudson River in the 1980s. They moved to Charleston in 2001 when Lee Higdon began his tenure as President of

T R A NS FO R M AT I O N T H ROU G H I NSTA LLAT I O N : HIRON A & RI KI MATS UDA Interviewed by Stacy Huggins Geist

Local artists and sisters Hirona and Riki Matsuda have been tapped to create an entire world for the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art’s fifth annual Groundhog Day benefit concert at the Charleston Music Hall on January 13. As a visual arts-based institution, it seems fitting to have the visual arts represented equally in this showcase of inspiring performing artists. We love their individual artistry and were immediately intrigued at the idea of their collaboration on such a large scale. HOW DID THIS PROJECT COME ABOUT? WHO APPROACHED WHOM? Mark Sloan from the Halsey reached out to us because of our involvement with Charleston Music Hall’s set designs in the past. Riki has also done some installation work at the Halsey over the years and really likes the team there. HAVE YOU TWO COLLABORATED ON SOMETHING THIS BIG BEFORE? Yes - we’ve worked on quite a few large installations and exhibitions together. One of our favorites was when we worked with BACE League of Charleston for the set for Brave Baby’s album release. We suspended a 30-foot moon from the rafters of the stage and used the surface of the moon as a projection screen. 42 | thear tmag.com


AS SISTERS AND COLLEAGUES, WHAT KIND OF INFLUENCES DO EACH OF YOU ABSORB FROM THE OTHER? Well, being that we grew up together, our ideas and aesthetics stem from the same place. Those similarities combined with our high mutual respect for one another’s work, make for a pretty ideal collaborative team. Our individual work is definitely different, and that lets us bounce ideas back and forth to get to the core of a project. So when we start to collaborate, there is a nice flow and unspoken direction toward the finished project. CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR WORKING CONCEPT FOR THIS INSTALLATION? During our planning for the project we found that thinking about exhibits we’d seen and what elements captivated our attention was the best way to approach the set for Groundhog Day. Without giving away too much, we decided that lighting, repetition, and motion will be key elements on the stage. YOU BOTH USUALLY WORK ON A SMALLER, MORE DELICATE SCALE. HOW DO YOU ENVISION TACKLING THE CHALLENGE OF SUCH A LARGE SPACE? We collaborate as often as possible and work in scales that range from miniature to grand. What we’ve found through adapting size and subject is that delicacy isn’t bound by scale; rather it’s about how you approach the subject. Sometimes working larger actually makes it easier to get the desired effect. AM

MOVING ON/UP: AFTER 14 YEARS, REDUX RELOCATES TO THE UPPER PENINSULA By Stacy Huggins Geist

Redux Contemporary Art Center is moving to 1056 King Street in early 2017; the exact date is dependent on construction progress, projected for March 2017. For more info, visit reduxstudios.org or call 843.722.0697.

Charleston has always attracted artists of all disciplines, for both its stunning natural beauty and its cosmopolitan qualities. One can enjoy all the benefits of culture and city life set in the slower pace of the South, with beach weather nine months of the year. Factor in the city’s overall prosperity and enthusiasm for the arts and it’s easy to see why so many aspiring and established artists make Charleston home. With the explosion of national and international attention that Charleston has received in the last 10 years, space is at a premium, and the market is ultracompetitive. Property owners can extract exorbitant rates that non-profits and artists can barely keep pace with, as development and gentrification are transforming neighborhoods practically overnight. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION With all that in mind, and an eye toward the future, Redux’s Board of Trustees has been diligently searching for the

organization’s next home for more than five years. The new home has finally been found, and construction was well underway at the time of publication. After 14 years on St. Philip Street, Redux is moving on and moving up the peninsula to 1056 King Street. Chairman of the Board Francis Ervin has been instrumental in leading the search for Redux’s new home. “1056 is the right decision for us because it allows Redux to continue its mission downtown. The location allows us to expand our outreach programs with the Dee Norton Lowcountry Center for Children and [ John L. Dart] Library across the street, and to be a vibrant cultural center for arts in the expanding Upper King community,” says Ervin.

TAKING THE LONG VIEW “What stood out the most about this space was the blank slate it offered to allow us to design our new home to our own specifications. We had been searching for a location that was large enough to allow Redux to expand its studios, classes, and exhibition space. At 15,000 square feet, this space more than doubles our current location and will allow Redux to sustain its mission for years to come,” Ervin continues. “We have committed to a 10-year lease with options to renew. Our developer, Boneworks Property Management, believes in our mission and understands what Redux brings, not only to its development, but also the community. We believe 1056 King will be Redux’s home for the next 14 years plus.”

FROM THE ARTISTS’ PERSPECTIVE Studio artist Stephen Elliott Webb believes that “One of the many advantages of our new home will be an increased camaraderie among the artists. I already see this happening as the excitement builds toward the move. The artistic potential of more than 40 artists working together could be astounding!” AM

Back in November, the festival honored some of the Lowcountry’s premier farmers and growers with a tribute dinner that raised funds for Lowcountry Local First’s Growing New Farmers Program. A beautiful short video produced by local media company Hed Hi Media was debuted, featuring 2013 graduate Stephen Wilson, set against the backdrop of the LLF Dirt Works incubator farm on nearby Johns Island. Wilson eloquently spoke to the program’s impact on his life, and the very real gap that could exist if more young people don’t get into farming.

uilding a successful restaurant in a city full of glittering jewels requires a perfect storm of talent and gumption. When The Park Café’s owner-operator Xan McLaughlin tapped his former colleague Chef Matt Canter to step up to the role of executive chef, they managed to create that secret recipe to success, and it shows at every turn.

Charleston to work at The Ocean Room on Kiawah Island. Since then he’s also worked at Charleston Grill and FIG, and taught at the Art Institute of Charleston. As he created the dinner menu, Canter wanted to make it “more approachable for the regular clientele, as well as interesting

Chef Canter began working in restaurants as a teenager: “I needed a job because I wanted to buy a Jeep,” he says. And not just any Jeep; he wanted a 1977 CJ-7 with a 302 V-8. He had to get special permission for the school bus to let him off at the sports bar where he washed dishes to save money for his dream Jeep. From that young age, he knew that he wanted to be a chef and went straight to New York to study at the Culinary Institute of America just three weeks after he graduated high school. After culinary school, he worked at RitzCarlton resorts in Florida before moving to 50 | thear tmag.com

“I just like making food that’s soulful” “I just like making food that’s soulful,” he says. During the cold, short days of winter, Canter features dishes that are deep in flavor like short ribs or coq au vin. He elevates the flavors through premium ingredients, to create plates that feel comforting and familiar. Canter’s time teaching has given him a great perspective on how to lead in the kitchen. “Teaching definitely broke me of some things I had picked up in the past from previous chefs, about leadership, about nurturing, about teaching, about coaching. In the past, I’ve seen chefs lay the book down say ‘this 52 | thear tmag.com

Developing his staff into strong culinary workers is central to Canter’s leadership in the kitchen. Canter says, “I’d rather take the extra time and energy and financial responsibility on somebody and train them and develop them as an individual. In my opinion, a chef ’s primary goal is to develop his or her people…I want everybody who works here, when they eventually move on, to be better and to able to carry themselves with confidence in what they learned.” Canter looks for a strong character over most anything else. “I can teach anyone how to cook, but I can’t teach them how to have a good work ethic,” he says. His personal character and culinary expertise shine, in both the flavor and the presentation, which keeps this neighborhood darling of a restaurant relevant. During our interview, one of the neighborhood regulars leaned over and shared a compliment to the chef: “I’ve never needed salt here!” That is quite possibly the highest praise possible for any chef, anywhere.

SEA ISLAND RED PEAS, SALSA VERDE, PETITE MUSTARD GREENS, & SMOKED SEA SALT by Chef Matt Canter of The Park Café

I N GR E D IE N T S serves 4 FOR THE ANTELOPE:

4 antelope loin, 6 ounces each, silver skin removed kosher salt coarsely ground black pepper toasted and coarsely ground juniper berries

P ROC E SS 1. Generously season the loins with salt, black pepper, and juniper berries, up to 30 minutes before cooking.

2. Place peas in a sauce pot and add the sachet; use whatever flavors you like. I recommend onion, carrot, any bacon scraps, fresh thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.Your sachet should be about the size of a tangerine.

3. Cover the peas with chicken stock about three finger widths above the peas

FOR THE RED PEAS:

1 qt. dried Sea Island red peas, soaked overnight then drained 1 herb sachet - see below 1 cup slab bacon cut into thick lardons, fried until soft but not crispy - save for serving

4. Bring sauce pot to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes, tasting at 30 minute mark for completion.

5. Allow peas to cool at room temperature so they continue to soak up flavors in the stock. When cooled, drain the cooking liquid and set the peas aside (this can be done days in advance).

6. Combine all ingredients in a FOR THE SALSA VERDE:

1 bunch of flat leaf parsley 2 fresh jalapeno, minced 1 small shallot, finely minced 3 garlic cloves, finely mixed 1 cup extra virgin olive oil the zest of one lemon

7. Warm the bacon in a sauce pot then add the red peas. Add just enough chicken stock to cover. Set aside

8. Heat a heavy bottom

tablespoons of canola oil. Just as the pan begins to smoke add the antelope loins and sear evenly on all sides until the spice rub develops a nice crust. Add about a tablespoon of butter to the pan and baste the loins for about a minute. I recommend serving antelope on the rare side because the meat is very lean and can be easily overcooked.

9. Allow the loins to rest for 5 minutes.

10. Re-heat red peas and finish with butter and salt to taste. I like to add something green to the peas for a bit of contrast like minced Parsley or oregano.

11. Spoon peas and some of the broth into a wide dinner bowl. Slice each loin into 3 even medallions and place on top of the peas.

12. Drizzle the salsa verde on top of and around the medallions as much or as little as you like.

13. Finish with smoked sea salt on the medallions and a handful of baby mustard greens or arugula around the antelope.

Modern Foraging IN THE LOWCO UNT RY by HUNTER GARDNER Photos by ANDREW CEBULKA

54 | thear tmag.com


What is our modern relationship with nature? It seems that, despite its omnipresence, nature has paradoxically become a place that we must go to, when in fact nature is all around us. This disconnect tempts us to forget the most wonderful and essential characteristic of nature: provider. Foraging, the search for edible goods in the wild, is a practice that allows those who partake to be in reverence of the natural world. Foraging could be explained simply as a radicalization of the ‘eat local, eat organic’ culture—but this only captures part of the intrigue for those who forage. Rather, it comes from a propensity for frugality, adventure, and a connection to Mother Nature herself.

THE THRILL OF THE FORAY Foraging, in its nature and in its philosophy, is pure. Though foragers span the breadth of the everyday outdoorsmen to heralded chefs, the allure of foraging is not a means to an end, but often an opportunity to be in nature and find a change of pace. “I started [foraging] as a way to get out of the kitchen and escape from everyday life,” says Chef Josh Keeler of 492, who was introduced to foraging while living in Vermont. “It is a way to just be alone or take a walk and get some sunshine.”

Chef Josh Keeler

WINTER 2017 | 55


Foraging inspires education. Keeler says his experiences have given him the opportunity to teach younger cooks things that they would have never experienced otherwise if they didn’t get out of the kitchen. For those who grew up in Charleston proper like Matt Lee, foraging was an urban adventure.

“You found your path over brick walls and under porches.You knew exactly where the grapefruit tree was, the pomegranate, all the fig trees, and mulberries,” says Lee, whose co-authored book Lee Bros Charleston Kitchen includes an entire essay devoted to foraging within Charleston’s city limits. Of course, nature is not always a safe place. Woody Collins of Beaufort says he and his foraging partner have come across lethal foes like the water moccasin, diamondback, and timber rattlesnakes. The thrill of the adventure often lies in finding new ground--but this is prized information. “For every mushroom patch I share with someone, I keep three to myself,” says Chef Keeler. CHARLESTON’S YIELD Nature’s provisions can be bounty or bust, and fortunately Charleston boasts an array of unique horticultural treats.

“For every mushroom patch I share with someone, I keep three to myself” — Chef Keeler 56 | thear tmag.com

Golden Chanterelle mushrooms—the third most sought after mushroom in the world according to Collins—are plentiful for local foragers, and cannot be cultivated by traditional means.


“It is supposed that the host tree has to be at least 60 years old and a hostspecies relationship has to exist for somewhere around 20 years before the mushroom system bares its fruit,” notes Collins.

“Charlestonians had a knack for finding the good stuff—in the gardens and back alleys, sidewalks and public parks” – Matt Lee While western North Carolina and the Pacific Northwest are popularly cited as foraging hotbeds, Charleston’s subtropical climate and international port contribute to a diverse natural menu.

HOW TO FORAGE RESPONSIBLY • Use the 1/3 Rule: Never pick more than 1/3 of a yield

• Avoid picking from small batches, which could become larger yields in the future

• Be respectful of trees by properly pruning

• Cut mushrooms above the ground and don’t uproot grounded plants

• Forage for personal use or sell directly to an educated consumer who will not resell

Furthermore, the frugal nature of the archetypal Southerner has always drawn Lowcountry denizens to foraging. “Charlestonians had a knack for finding the good stuff—in the gardens and back alleys, sidewalks and public parks,” says Lee. “You used to see it everywhere, grandmothers with a jar of loquats topped off with vodka on the kitchen window.” In addition to rural and urban foraging, Charleston benefits from a niche: beach foraging. Keeler has found wild pears, arugula, and sea beans through beach foraging— though the latter of which, while plentiful, can also prove troublesome. “You learn through repetitive tasting. In the springtime [sea beans] can be great, super tender, and less salty, depending on the tides and where they are harvested.” WINTER 2017 | 57


BY THE BOOK & OFF THE TRAIL Weaving throughout the practice of foraging is a delicate thread of both shared and unspoken understandings among foragers, chefs, and regulators. For both urban and rural foragers, going on a foray often means crossing property lines.

“Like you were never there, you want to leave it better than you found it.” – Matt Lee

Grow Food Carolina Team, photo by ChristopherShane

However, according to Lee, trespassing now and then has never been seen as much of an issue. In fact, foraging is often a relief to property owners. “In most people’s eyes, [loquats] are a nuisance that you have to pay someone to come remove before they stain your driveway.” With less prevalent species, Lee simply holds himself to a cer tain standard—for example, trimming only the most ter tiary stems of rosemary from a neighbor’s bush, 58 | thear tmag.com

not unlike a landscaper might sculp. “Like you were never there,” says Lee. “You want to leave it better than you found it.” And then there is the relationship between those who forage and those who are willing to buy. While selling to a direct consumer has always been legal, it wasn’t until recently that headway was made for South Carolina foragers to sell to distributors like GrowFood Carolina. In 2014, Sara Clow of GrowFood, along with Clemson University, DHEC. and Tradd Cotter of the upstate’s Mushroom Mountain, were able to pass new state regulations for foragers. This included a mushroom foraging accreditation course with each graduate receiving a forager number allowing them to sell to distributors. However, this process will likely not be applied widely to other foods due to strict DHEC and FDA criteria, which analyze these decisions based on stringent microbiology standards. And so, whether for authenticity or a bit of walk-the-line thrill, there is perhaps a degree of rule-bending. “The black market is still alive and well,” says Clow. “There are a number of known foragers and a number of known chefs who love foragers.” AM

Lindsay Holler and Hazel Ketchum “WOMEN &” by Hunter Gardner

omen are more interesting than men. And until there is some kind of paradigm shift financially, socially, politically, etc., this will continue to be true because voices trying to be heard are always more interesting than voices that are already being amplified. However, even with all else equal, perhaps one realm where women will invariably be more interesting than men is art. That’s because women are nature’s creators and nurturers, which naturally makes them artists. Not necessarily innately better than their male peers, but just more—interesting. And it is a very interesting time to be a woman. Which is perhaps what made the “Women &” series at the Charleston Music Hall an instant success—emerging from the ether, a manifestation of the zeitgeist. The concept originated as a one-off show, when Charles Carmody of the Charleston Music Hall and long-time Tom Waits fan Lindsay Holler put together the tribute show 60 | thear tmag.com

“Women & Waits” in 2015. Holler noted that, “We had an over the top example of a gruff masculine voice, which created such an interesting contrast to an exclusively female ensemble.” Co-producer Hazel Ketchum of The Hungry Monks added, “We have to approach the music in a unique way since we can’t full out copy the sound of the artist’s voice. The audience already loves the song, and to hear it live with a different voice is fun and interesting.” In 2016, “Women &” expanded into a four-show series that spanned from Bob Dylan to Radiohead. In 2017 a fifth installment will be added, the first being “Women & The Rolling Stones” on Friday, February 24th. The diverse line up will feature singers ranging in age from 18-63, and welcomes two “Women &” newcomers: Eden Fonvielle of the V-Tones and Jill Lewis, a classically trained Soprano.


Why The Rolling Stones? “One thing we look for when choosing artists to cover is diversity within an artist’s catalog,” said Holler. “The Stones offer rock ‘n roll, blues, country—and there’s a lot of meat on the bones with these songs.”

And of course there’s plenty of stage panache up for grabs. “We love the challenge of a voice and personality like Mick Jagger to sink our teeth into,” said Ketchum. The singers will be backed by Holler and Ketchum’s bands the Western Polaroids and The Hungry Monks, respectively. “As we rehearse, it becomes a collaboration,” said Ketchum in regards to working with the different singers. “Ideas emerge and soon we have a full-on gospel treatment of a Neil Young song or a New Orleans treatment of a Dylan song.”

“We love the challenge of a voice and personality like Mick Jagger to sink our teeth into.” — Hazel Ketchum

For Carmody, this is the programming he craves. “I want to be producing more shows in house [and work] with local musicians as much as possible—this series combines both.” Added Holler, “We have a vibrant local music scene, and it needs the vital support from concert goers in order to sustain and continue to flourish.” The next artist to be covered in the “Women &” series will be announced at the show on February 24th.

CONSIDER THIS YOUR OFFICIAL NOTICE. CLEAR YOUR CALENDARS FOR MARCH 14TH-18TH—LEXUS CHARLESTON FASHION WEEK RETURNS TO MARION SQUARE, LOCATED IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON, SC. The air is thick again with excitement for the annual CFW. There’s a fresh feel to the week, especially with the new sponsorship by Hendrick Lexus Charleston. Now is the time to start thinking about what runway shows to attend, what shopping to do in the Style Lounge, and the multiple fashion events that will be popping up around town.

WINTER 2017 | 67


THROUGHOUT THE WEEK THERE WILL BE A DIFFERENT FOCUS FOR EACH NIGHT: Opening Night on March 14th, Locals Night on March 15th, Rock the Runway Competition on March 17th, all culminating with the Fashion Finale on March 18th where the Emerging Designer Winner will be announced in the most dramatic night of them all. CFW’s mission is to cultivate up-and-coming designers and models on their path to a career in fashion. That vision continues to strengthen year after year. Fostering a creative community that pushes designers is central to CFW’s brand identity. This year, the scope will widen, and the depth of field will grow, even adding in layers of incentives for emerging talent to bring their best. Within one year of their CFW debut, four emerging designers from CFW 2016 went on to show at New York Fashion Week, including Destini Hoffman, Jon Milner, Lisa N.

Hoang, and Storm Dorris. Their success is a testament that CFW is a true pathway to New York, preparing designers for meaningful opportunities in the national fashion industry. Looking forward, this year the Emerging Designer Competition is expanding to all 50 states, which is the first time the competition has welcomed entries from beyond the southeast. Fern Mallis, creator


WINTER 2017 | 69


of NYFW, will judge the Emerging Designers Competition and provide feedback on their collections. Additionally, one semifinalist from the Emerging Designer Competition will be named in the Belk Southern Designer Showcase, giving that designer the opportunity to be featured in select Belk stores and on Belk.com in Spring 2018. The winner will also be given the opportunity to present their collection to the Belk headquarters and receive a cash prize of $2,500. For models, the Rock the Runway Model Competition is back to discover upand-coming models to the fashion industry. Success doesn’t happen overnight, and these are just some of the methods to how actual growth happens. 70 | thear tmag.com

One unique key to CFW is the local community involvement. Passionate, talented creatives and local businesses are the fuel that keeps Charleston on fire. When you attend a runway show, shop in the Style Lounge or the Belk Tent, you are sure to encounter local business owners, designers, and creatives who contribute to the overall success of CFW. It’s mutually beneficial to everyone involved: bringing new ideas and visitors to our community while simultaneously launching emerging talent to a national stage goes hand-in-hand with supporting the local businesses we all work so hard to foster in Charleston.


FASHION WEEK NIGHTLY SCHEDULE March 14th: Opening Night March 15th: Locals Night March 17th: Rock the Runway Competition March 18th : Fashion Finale

Last year, Amy Driggers, local designer and owner of Taxidermy, took to the Style Lounge to showcase her exotic handbags made of python and lizard in bright, flashy hues. Her designs were spotted all over the CFW Village, and on every blog post and Instagram feed. Her brand has grown exponentially since then, in part due to participating in this greater vision that keeps collaboration at its core. Having other creatives to encourage you and keep you accountable results in growth of design, business, and brand. Though Charleston Fashion Week is focused on the fashion community, the energy and enthusiasm extends to the Charleston community as a whole. It is a culture that speaks to inclusivity and growth, rather than comparison and competition. The coming of spring and changing of seasons, Charleston Fashion Week will bring out fresh talent and new inspiration for designers and the community alike. AM

f FACEBOOK PAGE or GROUP for YOUR BUSINESS? by Ashley T. Caldwell, CEO @ The Modern Connection

FACEBOOK MARKETING IS ETERNALLY EVOLVING, AND YOU’RE LIKELY NOTICING A SHIFT IN YOUR FACEBOOK BUSINESS PAGE. Businesses are seeing less organic (non-paid) reach than ever before. And Groups are starting to resurface as an effective way to position your business on Facebook. Facebook Groups are organized around interests. You’ll need to be strategic when setting up your Group, as you will likely (but not always) use an interest topic for the group name, not your actual business name. If you create a group, you’ll want to identify and curate interest around your business topic or industry and then position your business— and yourself—as an expert in that topic.

For example, if you are a jewelry artist, create a Group about handmade jewelry called something like “Handmade Jewelry Lovers.” You’ll be the admin of the group, set group rules and then use the group to provide value to the members while subtly promoting your own jewelry line. People will share their local 72 | thear tmag.com

finds, their own jewelry, maybe some tips and tricks for DIY, but you’ll be in the center of it all. As the group leader, you’re clearly established as THE expert. As a result, you’ll have an easier time making sales and bringing your audience to your blog, online store, or anywhere else you’d like to take them.

So which is right for you?

FACEBOOK PAGE PROS:

F Public, so anyone can see your posts, and anyone can “like” you. F Plethora of effective and super targeted advertising options. F Functionality with a business in mind. F Your existing community likely already “likes” you.


F Organic reach is dwindling, and it’s

F Viral potential—friends and customers can add their friends.

harder to get your posts seen without paying for ads.

FACEBOOK GROUP CONS:

FACEBOOK PAGE CONS:

F Content gets buried in the constant stream. F Often turns into a broadcast channel (which is the opposite of what it should be).

F Requires extra time to manage the content and to moderate the group members. F People don’t search for business groups, so if they’re looking for your business, they’ll want to find a page. F You’re the “party” hostess 24/7, so prepare to be engaging daily.

FACEBOOK GROUP PROS:

F Lots of engagement because people join groups they truly WANT to be in. F Admin control allow you to set the rules. F Privacy options: can be setup as a private or public group.

F No advertising options (as of the time of publication). Every business needs a Facebook Page, but if you have the creativity and time to dedicate to also admin a Facebook Group it’ll be a homerun for your business.
