morph into organic shapes that begin to take form as a pattern, and the patterns eventually evolved into the basis of each painting created.
His love for nature and the unknown began at a young age. “I started drawing to understand nature, so it’s kind of a personal language,” he says. The adventures of Jacques Cousteau and tales of the Inca, Aztec, Maya, and ancient Egyptians transfixed him as a child. “They all seemed to be able to interpret the magic of nature in their own way.”
Dotson looks to expand his portfolio to include a third dimension, bringing wall sculpture and three-dimensional creations to his July exhibit at the North Charleston City Gallery. Using resin, metal, and concrete, he has begun a series of organic objects to complement his patterns and color schemes.
As an artist, Dotson focuses on the journey more so than the end result. “My work comes from how I see and interpret nature, so it’s continual and evolving.” He recently completed an entire series of paintings that originated from a series of doodles. His doodles

K AT E H O O R AY OSMOND Summer holds a special place in the heart of Kate Hooray Osmond. “I grew up on the water, and in the summer we kids had nothing but time to explore. There is a shift that takes place once you’re on the water or in it. Your senses sharpen, and your breath levels off. Time stands still. We humans were meant to be near water,” says Osmond. Her paintings are, in a way, a portrait of her tonic. We see her love of the water in nearly all her work. She captures these aerial views from flying over the country in helicopters. Creeks, rivers, oceans – all of it seems to have a magnetic force on Osmond. “I’ve flown over the Mississippi, California, Lowcountry. I’m there with that image when it happens, and I capture it. I’m aware of the solitude and self-awareness in those moments, and I try to translate that subtly in my paintings.” “I love the vibrance of everything in the summer,” she says. “The colors are bright and contrasted. Parts of the day that weren’t available during the winter come alive. I take walks in the morning before my family wakes up, and I see the earth in a shade that isn’t echoed again until the next morning – purple and green before it all disappears in the fall.”

Colin Page Colin Page makes the most of summer. His works are vibrant and relatable. If you’ve lived along the coast during any point in your life, Page’s paintings make you say, “Oh, I remember that!” “I usually choose to paint a scene because of a sense of light or a color relationship that I’m drawn to,” Page explains. “Outrigger Repair was a scene I stumbled onto while exploring a boat yard. There was lovely light that day. I love to spend time studying the colors on location and trying to recreate the vibration of light in nature. I also get to be a part of the environment for a while. [That day] I met some of the guys who work in the yard and spent some time chatting with the owner of the boat. These were generous and
interesting people who I never would have met without spending a quiet day working on that painting.” One experience in particular has catalyzed inspiration for many of Page’s paintings. “I went boating with my kids out to an island where we spent the day exploring and collecting the island treasures of lobster claws, sea shells, beach glass, and crabs,” he recalls. “My girls are 3 and 5 years old, so this quiet little island was full of discovery and joy. I was so happy to see the wonder in their faces as we explored. That wonder is what I want to capture in my paintings. Being with the kids reminds me how exciting and beautiful our world is. I try to keep that in mind while I work.” Summer 2017 | 15

KAREN HAGAN If it’s summer, you’ll find Karen Hagan strolling down King Street in her big straw hat looking for her next muse. “Literally there’s a painting waiting around every corner here in Charleston,” says Hagan. “In the alleyways, the courtyards, the gardens, and the streets. Usually, I see those opportunities early in the morning or just before sunset when the shadows are the longest.”
16 | thear tmag.com
The light sings to Hagan, pulling her in until she’s able to capture the moment. “That stream of light going up the wall in The Hidden Art Courtyard at 177 King was what caught my eye and inspired me to do that painting.” As an artist and gallery owner, Hagan is able to mesh both of her callings into one lovely life. “I love being a part of the artist ‘tribe’ here. When I think of the great art galleries and artists working here – I see them almost like one big loosely woven colorful tapestry.”

Linda Fantuzzo An accomplished artist and traveler, Linda Fantuzzo takes the “off-season” to jet set to the lands of the masters. One particular trip sticks out in her mind. “I loved my stay with other artists at Villa le Rêve in France,” she says. “This is the house and studio where Matisse lived while he designed murals for Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence. We each had a studio that showcased the familiar French doors seen in many of Matisse’s works.” Fantuzzo carried her equipment from location to location, discovering new perspectives to add to her repertoire. In France, she was able to take in the views that Van Gogh and Matisse learned to master, and she will forever have that in her pocket to refer back to.
Experiences like this have created a mental Rolodex of serene images which Fantuzzo sources from when she’s not painting outdoors. “Occasionally I use photographs for perspective,” she explains. “But if I were to show you the photos I had used, you would see very little resemblance. I don’t see the need to render the image exactly.” Even after all her travels, Fantuzzo says the Lowcountry is still one of her favorite subjects.

M at t Story
Matt Story paints the perfect summer memory. His signature subject of beauty floating in an endless blue transcends its literal interpretation and flows into a deeper, more personal matter. “Water is an amazing metaphor for the deeper self,” says Story. “When I paint a woman suspended under water, I see her as gliding through her own selfawareness. Her movement is a journey through her own life, her self. Many of my images depict the body of water fading off behind and below the figure into a gradating darkness, into ‘the abyss.’ Surely the depth or bottom of it is death. But she floats always peacefully toward the surface, toward the light and the air—not unaware of, or ignoring, the dark, but enjoying the buoyancy of her life despite it. Each ‘diving down’ is a foray into the deeper self, with its risks and fears, and each emergence is a re-birth, a cleansing, a baptism.” Story’s swimming women are always sourced from a compilation of images. Professional models, friends, and loved ones willing to tolerate his directions in the pool will eventually make it to his canvases. “I spend a great deal of time manipulating the imagery in both the digital format, such as in Photoshop, or by hand, sketching and experimenting with color. I spend far more time developing a concept and imagery than I do rendering it as a final painting,” he says. When it comes down to it, tranquility in the element is Story’s motivation. “I love everything about floating in a clear body of water under the bright sunlight. The physical and visual sensations are endlessly fascinating, calming, joyous, and even profound.” 20 | thear tmag.com

frank phillips As a professor and artist, Frank Phillips injects playfulness, history, and academia into his abstracts. “I don’t think that anyone could specifically point to anything in my work that would say, ‘I see your youth there,’ but the reality is that I still create with a similar approach of curiosity and wonder as I did when I was a kid,” says Phillips. “I want to produce things that excite me in the same way as when I was making cartoons ‘way back then.’ My studio work is about discovery through ‘serious play,’ so, in that way, it’s akin to the feeling of freedom I had riding a bike in the summertime.” Phillips starts all of his paintings essentially the same way. “I make some marks on a blank space, and then I react to it,” he says. “If I like the decisions, I move it forward. If I don’t, I’ll
correct them.” His process of painting incorporates layers of pencil, charcoal, and paint that is continually applied, removed, then applied again. It’s is a prime example of refined simplicity – we often hear “less is more,” and too much on the surface of one of his paintings will oftentimes result in an overhaul. “All of these shifts leave a history on the plane, even if it’s almost totally obscured. The work has a patina of time, which, by its end, is no longer a detached thing but a presence with which I’ve spent many hours.”

Sara Pittman Rarely does Sara Pittman have an “aha!” moment. It all just seems to fall in place for this newcomer – who could probably teach us all a lesson in good karma. Less than a year ago, Pittman moved to Charleston and took up residence in Redux Contemporary Art Center. Two months later she scored representation at Mitchell Hill in Charleston – and then Matthew Rachman Gallery and Kevin Reilly Collection in Chicago. As a quickly emerging artist, Pittman’s palette stays busy throughout the year, but it’s during the summer when she hits the road in search of sources of energy and happiness. “My friends call me a road junkie,” she says. “I practically live in my car going one place to the next. My family and I spend a lot of time on the panhandle of Florida in a slice of heaven known as 30-A.” For Pittman, summers are for traveling. She spent her childhood summers on a lake outside of New York City called Green Pond, a place where her Norwegian great-grandparents vacationed after immigrating through Ellis Island. On the lake is a dock where Pittman visits some of her most cherished memories. These memories are often reflected in the pools of blue we see in her abstracted paintings.

“I try to think as little as possible when I’m creating,” she explains. “Instead, I allow my subconscious to guide my work. It’s fascinating how an intuitive process can reveal so many emotions. I begin to work, and the painting begins to reveal as much to me as I have to it. I love [non-subjective] work because every piece has its own original process; no two are ever the same.” Summer 2017 | 25

We sat down with Michele Seekings, an avid art collector, an active board member of the Gibbes Museum of Art, and owner of SPIRE Art Services, and asked her to create a checklist of some of her best practices for caring, maintaining, and maximizing the investment of a growing art collection.
INSET ABOVE (CHECK LIST): Riz Dag, by Frank Phillips
Summer 2017 | 27
1 K n o w W h at Y o u H av e Keep all records of purchase or transfer Records help establish provenance on your artwork, adding to its value. At the very least keep an electronic copy of your receipt for your collection records. The more information you have on a piece, the more valuable it will be, whether that value is monetary or personal. If you don’t already have a collection inventory

Shipping and Handling Included
If your new artwork is being shipped from the gallery – or should you need to move current artwork from one place to another – you should use fine art shippers and packers to protect your art from getting lost or damaged on its voyage. Make sure your art has shipping insurance when 28 | thear tmag.com
catalog, this would be the perfect time to start one. At the very minimum include the artist’s name, the title of the piece, and a receipt. I commonly get asked, “What if I keep this information taped to the back of the artwork?” If something unfortunate happens to that piece, well then the only documentation you have is now lost with it.
Know the fine print it’s on the move – either by you, the shipper, or the gallery. Most galleries will insure the piece they’re sending, but not all do, so be sure to ask. Each shipper has their own policies on insurance and replacement limits, so confirm the insurance is an adequate amount for the piece being shipped.
How’s it hangin’? D i s p l ay i n g a r t is all about l o c at i o n
Think about traffic patterns in your home. Is that hallway you were considering the place where everyone congregates during a party? It’s best to not install high-value art in high traffic areas with exposure to people, pets, and red wine. It’s also not recommended to install high-value artwork over fireplaces that are frequently used or in direct sunlight. Who will install your art? It’s not always as simple as placing a nail in the wall. Know if it’s being installed on a plaster, a drywall, or a brick wall, and make sure to have the correct hanging hardware. If you’re unsure, professional installation is always the best route to secure and protect your art from potential damage from falling.
4
It’s All In T h e D i s p l ay Why framing is n o t f o r a m at e u r s
While professionally framed art does add beauty, it’s more important as an investment in the preservation of your artwork. Proper framing helps the surface to not cockle, or ripple, with changes in humidity, helps protect against mold, and prevents damage from direct contact or improper spacing to the glass. Know if your piece needs archival framing materials, and find a quality framer if it does. Start by asking the gallery who they use for framing.
When Disaster Strikes
Improve your online presence Increase your client base Strengthen your brand loyalty
Make A Plan We live in an area prone to tropical storms and hurricanes, so have a plan for moving/storing your artwork when severe weather or other disasters are imminent. Part of that plan should also include properly insuring your art collection, which, again, goes back to the importance of maintaining a catalog of your collection. Your insurance company can guide you to the best policy for your collection, whether it’s a few pieces or many, since each company’s art collection policy is different.
The most important thing about your art is to know what you have.

Entertaining, by Kathryn Freeman, from Dog & Horse Fine Art
If your interests involve good food, good music, fine wine, fine art — or all of the above — you’re in luck: Charleston Gallery Association (CGA) is hosting its inaugural Summer Wine Bouquet on August 27. Think of the event like the CGA’s Art Walks — minus the walking — with nearly 20 galleries displaying artwork atop the roof of the Mills House on Meeting Street. “This will be a great opportunity for Charleston to see the strength and variety of our gallery scene all in one place,” says Sarah Miller, CGA President and owner of Miller Gallery, Charleston’s newest contemporary art gallery. “Our hope is to make this an annual event that people use as an excuse to travel to Charleston in what would typically be considered the ‘off-season.’ ” 32 | thear tmag.com

Sommelier Matt Tunstall of Stems & Skins FIGHTING PRETENSION AT E V E RY T U R N by Hunter Gardner | photos by Paul Cheney
STEMS & SKINS 1070 East Montague Avenue North Charleston stemsandskins.com 843.805.4809
I’m a back of the room kind of guy. So is my friend standing next to me. Together we watch patrons exit a downtown venue with the buzz of post-show chatter. A moment passes, and – as if reading my mind – he turns and asks, “How does one get to know someone?” What he means is: At age 30, how does one just make new friends? And I have no idea. This is also how I feel about trying to better understand and appreciate wine. What I mean is: How does one just get into wine? I have no idea. 34 | thear tmag.com
Maybe getting to know wine is like getting to know a stranger. What I mean is: I need the right introduction. Enter Matt Tunstall, sommelier and co-owner of Stems & Skins. A WAY IN Stems & Skins is a wine bar stitched among the storefronts of Park Circle in North Charleston, a neighborhood that fights pretension at every turn. Given my wine assumptions, this feels oxymoronic, but I’ll soon find that is Tunstall’s agenda as well. This is a man who knows his wine, but wants those who don’t to have a way in.
“These young guys, they’re making wine with no rules. They’re breaking every rule they can, in a rebellious way. I love it. That’s what this bar is about.”
Tunstall nonchalantly wields a few bottles from the bar to our table. He has a comforting confidence about him, a true host. As the first glass is being poured, I come right out and ask: Where does one start? “It’s something that hits you. We call it the wine bug,” he says. “That one bottle of wine that totally affects [your] life.” For Tunstall, this was at age 24 in a smallstaff San Francisco restaurant where it was not uncommon for a server to sample 15 to 20 wines a night. While uncorking a bottle of Mount Mary’s Quintet, an Australian red wine, he was offered a taste by the table. After the three-hour meal, he was offered a second taste. “To see how that wine had changed, I realized this was a living, breathing organism. It has a lifespan.”
Symbole” that we’re drinking is from Quentin Bourse, a Frenchman in his 30s and distributed to Stems & Skins by Selection Massale. “These young guys, they’re making wine with no rules. They’re breaking every rule they can, in a rebellious way. I love it. That’s what this bar is about.”
The Chenin Blanc that he’s picked out for us is clearly a pet favorite. He muses that he could make a whole wine list of Chenin Blanc – a white aperitif wine (think “appetizer” to drink at the beginning of the meal) that pairs well with cheese, particularly soft cheeses, and specifically soft goat cheeses. This sounds like we’re getting into some serious wine and cheese talk, but Tunstall has a mantra: what grows together, goes together. Next time you open a wine list, note where the wine is from, then pair it with foods that grow there. This simplification is just one tactic Tunstall uses to demystify the highfalutin stereotype of wine culture. Another is his active choice to work with distributors that are embracing a new generation of winemakers. The “Sec 36 | thear tmag.com
A few examples of breaking the rules in the wine world include adding very little or no sulphur dioxide, allowing bacteria to grow (affecting the taste), and choosing to leave grape skins on when fermenting white wines (increasing acidity and making the wine ‘heavier’). This isn’t wine talk – it’s science talk. According to Tunstall, most wine lovers find themselves somewhere on a spectrum between science nerds and art enthusiasts – and now this winemaking thing is starting to sound a lot like craft brewing. “Exactly. These are fun, everyday wines,” says Tunstall. “Have fun, and get them down. The alcohol is usually pretty low, 11 or 12 percent, so you can drink an entire bottle by yourself.” He chuckles, “That’s like drinking one double IPA these days.” THE SCIENCE AND THE ART When Tunstall teamed up with Justin Croxall, the two wanted to maintain an ethos for both the wines they chose and the atmosphere customers could expect. Tunstall radiantly describes Stems & Skins as an extension of his living room. “We don’t want to take ourselves too seriously,” he says. “At the same time, I want to show the passion I have for these wines – farmer-driven wines. I’m not trying to give money to the Budweisers of the wine world.”
So, if you walk into Stems & Skins, here’s what you can expect: a large wine book and a couple of minutes. Then Tunstall will swoop in. “I want people to know that I’m excited about these wines, and to give them some of that [excitement], too.” According to Tunstall, most novices miss great wines because they want something that shocks their taste buds immediately: A lot of tannin. A lot of acid. A lot of oak. “I still want to give [people] what they’re looking for, but not overblown.” If you’re looking to go beyond the basic preference of red or white, Tunstall recommends considering the wine’s acidity. “It’s what rinses your palate, gets you ready for the next bite. Think of a big bite of steak – a wine with the right acidity – by the time you take the next bite, your mouth is clean again.”
Now I’m getting to know wine. The science. And the art. Tunstall delights in sliding along that spectrum while endorsing breaking the rules, if not all out breaking them. He speculates that many of the wines here are maybe in three stores in the city, seven cases in the entire state. That’s because distributors who usually ship to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles are picking up Tunstall’s phone calls, ensuring his wine list maintains a sense of flare and fun. “I’m ok if you don’t know any of these wines,” he says. “That’s a compliment to me.” But if you do feel lost or overwhelmed, Matt Tunstall will be there to swoop in. He’ll be your friend. ♦

SUMMER OF BILL FILM SERIES Charleston Music Hall 37 John Street, Charleston charlestonmusichall.com 843.853.2252
The Summer of Bill by Matt Mill
Bill Murray, the talented actor who calls Charleston home, has certainly added his personality to a city already filled with unique characters. “We love the way Bill Murray has inspired playfulness in our community, and we are excited to pay homage to this amazing artist,” says Charleston Music Hall director Charles Carmody. To celebrate this man about town, Charleston Music Hall is presenting the Summer of Bill Film Series, starring seven Bill Murray films and an art exhibit. Local Murray-lover Tiffany Pretlow curated the exhibit with Bill Murray-inspired works from over 20 local artists.
But what really caught our attention was five Charleston artists were tapped to create seven unique film posters to promote each screening, so we’re showing off a few of the posters Jason Groce, Bennett Jones, Seth Deitch, Taylor Faulkner, and Karen Ann Myers created. Left to air in the summer series is Lost in Translation on July 26, Broken Flowers on August 2, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou on August 20. The art exhibit is on view upstairs at the Music Hall until August 20, and specialty poster prints are for sale all summer at the box office. Summer 2017 | 39

Cirque du Soleil OVO C R E AT I V E P RO C E S S : IN A PERFORMANCE, WHO ARE THE REAL S TO RY T E L L E R S ? by Emily Reyna
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL OVO August 9 – 13 North Charleston Coliseum northcharlestoncoliseumpac.com 843.529.5000
You will never see a Cirque du Soleil costume on the runway. Even if you did, it was never meant to be presented – it was created for performance. This is the difference between designing for fashion and designing for costume design, especially when the design is worn by world-class acrobats. This August, Charleston will get a chance to see OVO by the Cirque du Soleil and experience a unique combination of artistic forms and function. The very storyline and essence of OVO is one of tension: two sides in constant flux – chaos and soft emotion, life and death – told by a vibrant community of insects who experience all the emotions and elements of life. But in a performance focused on acrobatic movement and not words, who are the real storytellers? Creator or creation?
makeup, and works with the artistic director to ensure every performance is up to par, clocking in around 50 hours a week.
Stage set, movement, and most importantly costumes create a dialog and develop a story in a Cirque du Soleil show. Each show forms a unique creative system with its own creative team, headed by a creative director, costume designer, makeup designer, and head of wardrobe.
ARTISTIC TENSION A creative team faces many challenges when designing for an acrobatic performer, both artistically and technically – a designer wants their art to show in the design of the costumes, but still meet the technical needs of each individual performing artist. “A lot of designers start the creation of the costume with the artists, but they don’t really think of the day-to-day life and entire lifespan of the costume,” says Ouverney.
Head of wardrobe for OVO is Luana Ouverney. She began as a local hire in Brazil, where she did hand sewing and ironing under the wardrobe assistant. That was in 2010, and now as head of wardrobe she performs costume coordination, quality control, monitors
In order to resolve this artistic tension, the creative team of OVO keeps the acrobats front of mind during the design process. “They want to work with the performers to see the needs of the artist from the beginning. On a daily basis during the shows, you may have to Summer 2017 | 41
think of a new fabric to use or have to improve on an existing costume. I hear a lot of feedback from artists, and although it is very important to look good, you must be practical,” Ouverney explains. For example, “The crickets need the most care, especially since their legs are removed during the second half of the show,” continues Ouverney. “They are made of foam to look like actual cricket legs overlaid with fabric that stretches easily but in turn causes a lot of friction, resulting in holes in the legs.” Just as each performer is involved in the creation of the costume by helping problem-solve on the day-to-day, they are also trained to apply their own makeup. “I think
it’s important to mention the part of makeup,” says Ouverney. “Cirque du Soleil has a signature to its makeup, which is essential to the story. It’s amazing how the costume designer works with the makeup designer to conceptualize a story that the public can understand. That’s what I like about OVO – it’s a simple idea. Some shows are so artistic and conceptual it’s hard to tell what is going on and know what the idea is. But in OVO it’s very easy to tell, maybe because the characters are insects, but either way, it is very unique.”
Geometric shapes completed the visual composition for each garment.
A HIGH FASHION BUG’S LIFE Superheroes, biodiversity, and geometry really inspired costume designer Liz Vandal in her designs and visual direction for this performance. Superhero elements were translated more literally with armor-like pieces on insect bodies.
For every show that tours the US and around the world, innovative design is crucial to the creation process. This takes place at the headquarters of Cirque du Soleil, located in Montreal, where the story comes together with high-end materials and technology. “The creation process is amazing back in Montreal. They invest highly in technology, using three-dimensional printers with the highest quality of fabrics. You can really see how each director was inspired. It’s great to see how far creatively and artistically the costume designer can push the designs,” explains Ouverney.

Vandal took both modern and historic cues from fashion designer Pierre Cardin, whose work is filled with linear and geometric patterns. She mixed in classical Renaissance elements like slashed sleeves, and for the foreigner character of the fly, she created a multidimensional blue fabric with spiked sleeves on each side to contrast with his lover, the ladybug, who is a rich red hue with a smooth, round shape.
That’s what brings this circus into the 21st century – the way Cirque du Soleil cultivates a true team of artists who labor together to produce highquality productions from cutting edge technology. “It’s nice to not have limits for your imagination,” says Ouverney. “You want the audience to forget about the outside world and get into their own world of imagination. It’s pretty amazing to combine the functionality of the costume and make it aesthetically beautiful with a story behind it.” ♦ Summer 2017 | 43

You’ve seen the bumper sticker: Gut Fish, Not Houses. Well, with Charleston’s booming housing market in recent years, not everyone follows this adage. Then there’s the architecture and design studio Workstead, who believes maintaining the historical integrity of a building is paramount. “We talk a lot about the sense of continuum,” says Workstead co-founder Robert Highsmith, “Being a good steward of the space and not just gutting everything. Trying to have a more sensitive approach.”
Highsmith founded Workstead with his wife Stefanie Brechbuehler in New York City in 2009. They started out doing mostly residential work before securing their first large-scale commercial job remodeling the lobby and rooftop bar of the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn. They’ve since designed a remarkable range of buildings. “We often say we don’t design the same type of space twice,” says Highsmith. There’s certainly evidence to back that up. They’ve designed a salon in Tulsa, a bakery in Tribeca, and numerous apartments, lofts, restaurants, and hotels. Each new building means another Summer 2017 | 45
chance to flex that creative muscle. “The interior should reflect how different those given envelopes are,” says Brechbuehler. “And we try so hard to restore the historic elements and then put in our own layers.” Locally, they’re best known for designing The Dewberry, the recently opened 5-star hotel located at 334 Meeting Street. The historic lobby and Living Room conjure up elements of midcentury design. “It’s not just because we’re being midcentury pushers,” says Brechbuehler. “It’s because this building is from that era, and that’s really what fits 46 | thear tmag.com
into that building. It’s very contextually appropriate. But mixed into that, we also want it to be what we call Southern Modern, where it’s something that’s a little bit new, definitely through our own lens. It’s maybe slightly cleaner lines, maybe slightly simplified, or it’s our own version of something we’ve seen in history.” Highsmith and Brechbuehler made the move to Charleston about a year and a half ago, setting up a second location for Workstead in the Holy City while their partner, Ryan Mahoney, manages the business back in the Big Apple.

“There are a lot of buildings here that need this careful touch and love, and hopefully we can do some more work once [people see] a good example of what we’re all about.” Summer 2017 | 47
Highsmith, a North Carolina native, received his undergrad from Furman University in Greenville, SC, so he was already somewhat familiar with the region. But a family gathering in 2014 in Charleston sparked a yearlong love affair with the city. “At the end of that year we looked at each other and we were like, ‘We went to Charleston like eleven times in the last year. This is not normal,’ ” laughs Highsmith. After that realization, the big move was forthcoming, and with it, a new world of clientele. Says Highsmith, “It’s been a really fascinating challenge for us to have developed our design chops in the Northeast and then to come here and try to figure out how our slightly
more modern approach fits within the landscape of pretty traditional southern design.” One of their current local projects is the Workstead House, a 5,600 square foot row house on Smith Street. The fire-damaged interior left only the studs unharmed. “This is the first time we’re doing it on a massive, renovation scale and then furnishing it,” says Brechbuehler. Another first: the client is Workstead itself. “This is just really a special moment to be able to say, ‘we are the client,’ ” says Brechbuehler. “What do we want this to look like? What furniture fits that look that we’re going for? What art, what objects, and how can we complete
this sort of exploration of the Southern Modernist idea?” Essentially it will serve as a show house for Workstead, including the carriage house in the back boasting a completely different aesthetic. “It’ll maybe show people in Charleston what we’re capable of,” says Brechbuehler. “Because I think there are a lot of buildings here that need this careful touch and love, and hopefully we can do some more work once [people see] a good example of what we’re all about.” They’re planning a grand opening for the Workstead House this summer.

B R I N G I N G H E R B AC K G RO U N D I N T H E A RT S TO T H E C R E AT I O N O F H E R D E S I G N S by Emily Reyna | photos by Danica Mrozinsky of Lecca
Danielle Mason Hosker grew up as a ballet dancer. When most girls were playing dress-up, this self-proclaimed “bun head” was in the studio honing her dance skills – fashion was not at all on her mind.
lack of higher-level continuing education opportunities for dance, so she created Dancefx. “It grew to become a studio program for adults who had never danced before, as well as for adults who had danced all their lives,” she says.
“I never aspired to be a fashion designer. That was not in my vocabulary,” she recalls. “It’s amazing to me sometimes how life falls into place in exactly the right way, and it’s not the way you would have expected for yourself at all.”
AFTER DANCE CAME DESIGN Intuitive, like dance, is Hosker’s need to design. “Whether that’s for the stage, interiors, or the female body, it’s a part of me that must create something new,” she explains. After designing choreography for dance came designing for interiors. Hosker launched home interior companies Antage Bleu and Baby Bleu, where she was sourcing fabric to create high-end bedding collections. “So many of these gorgeous fabrics I had could not be used, but I was obsessed with them,” Hosker describes.
By nature of who she is, Hosker has always been a creative entrepreneur. She has a natural sense for identifying a need in a marketplace and creating something that meets it – beginning with creating her first company while an undergrad at the University of Georgia. She saw a

“That’s when I began waking up in the middle of the night imagining dresses in my mind.” Hosker has always had an affinity for the allure of a dress. “I think it’s a perfect garment because it’s easy and extenuates the strengths of the female form with classic silhouettes but with a twist,” she describes. “I knew I had to develop and design this line. I shot it, did a look book, and it just took off.” There’s a heritage about Hosker’s line that represents a history of the pieces and parts of her creative mind. Her designs have a decided balletic influence in form, shape, and movement, along with an understanding of fabric from her interior design background. “You must have a curated eye for beauty. 52 | thear tmag.com
You’re always looking to improve upon something that’s there,” she says. Hosker currently produces four collections a year, three ready-to-wear and one bridal. “Designing the collection is the most rewarding part and the easiest,” she says. “There is a storedup reservoir of inspiration that comes from travel, architecture, street style, old movies, and women who inspire me.” This reservoir is what she draws from, meditates on, and dreams on in every creative project. For Hosker, travel inspires everything. She selects parts from her experiences and pieces them together. “I’ll pair a beautiful fabric that we’ve sourced from Scotland, but has influences of a visit to Greece, while part of the design reminds me of the architecture from Spain.”
“Whether that’s for the stage, interiors, or the female body, it’s a part of me that must create something new.”
After mapping out inspirations, she sits down to work. “I end up sealing myself off somewhere where I can focus to produce CAD flat images of each garment,” she explains. From there, her designs are suspended between the two cities of Charleston and New York, where they come to fruition by way of the garment district in Manhattan. Patternmaking is an essential part of her design, where extra care is taken for the fit of each garment. “We make a muslin mockup of the dress with our patternmaker in New York, and then our fit model comes in to be fit,” she says. Fit is very important to Hokser, who devotes a lot of time perfecting it. “A fit can make or break a brand.” Once a pattern is made, a sample is created with the fabric Hosker selected. A look book is made and sent to buyers and the market, making it ready for a presentation like the one they gave this past season at New York Fashion Week Bridal. Hosker’s flagship boutique, Mason Hosker, recently opened its doors in downtown Charleston. Her State Street storefront houses her collective history of inspiration and continues to manifest itself into Mason Hosker. “At the very end of the day, I design clothes that I would want to wear and that I would like to see on women I adore and love.” ♦

I S YO U R I N S TA G R A M R E A C H D O W N ? YO U C O U L D B E S H A D O W B A N N E D by Ashley T. Caldwell CEO @ The Modern Connection
If you utilize and depend on Instagram to showcase your work and business, chances are you keep a pretty close eye on your follower count and analytics. With the introduction of Instagram for Business, real time analytics make it possible to monitor the stats for your brand and easier to know when something doesn’t seem right. If your follower count has dropped, your engagement is non-existent, and your photos aren’t showing up in hashtags – yes, you are shadowbanned. WHAT IS A SHADOWBAN? While the term has been around since 2006, it’s only recently gone mainstream. A shadowban is when your hashtags become ‘un-discoverable.’ You can still
post your hashtags, but you’ll only show up in hashtag feeds of your current followers. In other words, your images won’t show up in hashtag feeds of anyone who DOESN’T follow you. Since hashtag communities are the secret sauce to success on Instagram, this obviously makes it much harder to reach a new audience. While there are lots of “trackers” online that may or may not tell you if you’re part of the ban, the easiest way to find out if you’ve been hit is to post a picture with a unique hashtag, ask a friend to un-follow you (or someone who doesn’t follow you already), and check the hashtag feed to see if your picture shows up. Summer 2017 | 55
HOW’D I GET SHADOWBANNED? While the ban has not officially been confirmed by Instagram, they have encouraged businesses to focus on their content and messaging rather than on the hashtags they post. These are currently the top reasons for an account to become Shadowbanned: 1. Using Bots, Automation Software, & Buying Followers: Not only is this practice just plain sleazy and wrong in the world of social media marketing, but Instagram clearly states to not use anything that automates, including using bot programs to comment as you or automatic posting services, period. As a user we can sniff out the automaters easily because they feel like...SPAM.
{ L O W C O U N T R Y,
2. Surges of Activity: Consistency is key, and if you’re inactive for weeks on end and then jump on your account with a ton of activity, it’s flagged as abnormal and likely spam. 3. Using the Same Hashtags Post After Post: If you’re copying and pasting the same hashtags on EVERY post you make, you’re not using hashtags correctly. Content is meant to be genuine and authentic, which means your hashtags should be too. Even if you have certain hashtags that you utilize regularly for your industry or location, you’ll want to make sure you’re mixing up the other ones and adding variety when appropriate. 4. Banned Hashtags: Instagram is constantly trying to make their platform

a desirable and safe place to be, and unfortunately others ruin the fun for everyone. There are several mainstream hashtags that have been overrun with NSFW content, and Instagram has deemed them “inactive” or banned. If you’re using those, your account can be flagged as doing inappropriate things. This is probably the most common reason to be shadowbanned because many of the banned hashtags are totally innocent and unassuming. Some examples of hashtags to NOT use are: #dogsofinstagram #boho #costumes #newyears #todayimwearing #snapchat. Surprised? Yeah, me too. HOW DO I REMOVE IT? This is the tough part: no one can say for sure how to remove a shadowban, but you definitely want to follow these tips:
1. Take an InstaBreak for a few days and let your account breathe. 2. Check your posts for banned hashtags. Remove them and take them out of your strategy moving forward. 3. Stop any form of automation: no engagement bots, no fake followers, no posting apps. 4. In some cases the IP address has been the issue, so work with your IT professional to reset your IP address or get a new device. Being shadowbanned is a serious issue in the world of social media marketing, and we always encourage you to follow best practices so you don’t find yourself unknowingly falling down a rabbit hole that you can’t get out of. ♦ Summer 2017 | 57
