(ATLANTA :: 13 December
2009) Calvin Lockwood
was kind
enough to open his doors at The Granite Room
for
“Parties with (Positive!) Impact,” and he’s also
the artist/photographer behind
“Lucy” - taken in 1994 at
the Madonna Inn (no relation to Madge) in San
Luis Obispo, Calif., on 35mm Kodak film.
“The Madonna Inn is a 1950s or '60s motel that has been added on to many times,” he says.
“All the rooms are ‘theme rooms’
and this room was "Merry", one of a three-room
series that included ‘Merry,’ ‘Go,’ and
‘Round.’ Everything in it was pink.”

“Lucy” was one of a number of pieces - including “Watching the Old Structures Crumble,” “Passion Flower,” “Just Before Rush Hour...,” among others - on display at The Granite Room. Thanks again to Calvin for hosting us, and to Alexis Vear for providing the evening’s awesome musical entertainment!
“Lucy” is offered for a donation of $250. Visit Calvin’s artist page for more.
