Baltimore Re-Collected: Architecture Past & Present

Photographs by Amy Davis and James Singewald

ARTIST TALKS: October 22 w/ Amy Davis @ 11AM and James Singewald @ 1PM

Baltimore is rich in architectural landmarks, quietly making up the backdrop to our daily,
urban lives. Our Charm City skyline is on the rise as our vertical profile changes rapidly,
particularly along the water’s edge. Some sections of the city have seen restoration and
reuse. Other sections of the city either remain in derelict purgatory, or simply crumble.
Neighborhoods and echoes of city lives past often go unnoticed. When we see these
places we lament the loss of things that have been taken for granted. As our social
history often lies in social spaces, the story of our town emerges in the photographic
imagery of Amy Davis and James Singewald, as they trace the geometry, and thus, the
stories of Baltimore past and present. Their work in Baltimore Re-Collected compliments
each others vision and reinforces their projections of these shared spaces as a valuable
component of our identity.
