CHARLESTON, SC, March 2015—Charleston-based artist Fletcher Williams III (American, b. 1987) is continuing a study on the divergence in Charleston’s cultural heritage.
Souvenir is a ceremony for the many victims of violent crimes who lived only blocks away from the city’s historic district. Williams memorializes those of the African American community afflicted by the reconditioning of the Lowcountry, a city of celebrated charm, dominant historic preservation, and architecture running the rainbow gamut. The realities of violence and social destruction are in stark contrast. As a means to represent the correlation of charm and decay Williams appropriates a local souvenir, the Palmetto Rose.
