The exhibition was hosted by several venues around the city of Memphis, however the largest installment of the exhibition as a whole was displayed at the Art Museum of the University of Memphis. Seven galleries around Memphis featured Myatt's work, and the exhibition received a significant amount of attention both locally and nationally. Myatt explains his work by saying: "I have consistently attempted to combine art historical references with vernacular influences. As a native of the rural south I have a tremendous respect for work that is made by hand and guided by the heart and eye. However as an educated artist I understand the importance of the mind in the process. To state my approach to the making of art in the simplest and most direct manner, I have tried to use these - the hand, the eye, the heart, and the mind - to shape my work in both the making and the viewing."}, recid = {1380588}, pages = {57 pages :}, address = {[Memphis, TN.] :}, year = {2009}, }
