“In architecture, the parameters are set for you by budget, site and
client. With painting, I have to apply the constraints . . . and that’s
far more difficult.” – Professor Laura Terry
The McIntosh Faculty Award established by Lanny and Becki McIntosh funded Paradise Lost, a series of 11 paintings by architecture professor Laura Terry. Featuring floating planes of richly saturated color punctuated by silos, honeycombs, and other rural symbols, the paintings evoke the vanishing agricultural landscape of the South.
Terry also has used the McIntosh Faculty Award to support work on her book Building Common Ground,
which documents the design/build program that she heads at Camp
Aldersgate, a Little Rock camp that serves children with disabilities.
