Michael McFalls, Director of Pasaquan, gave us some insight into how and maybe why 2,000 pieces of of artwork, including paintings, sculptures, and drawings are housed at Pasaquan, which includes six buildings that are also pieces of art.

Pasaquan is a 7-acre compound near Buena Vista, Georgia. It was created by an eccentric folk artist named Eddie Owens Martin, who called himself St. EOM. An internationally renowned art site, it consists of six major structures including a redesigned 1885 farmhouse, painted concrete sculptures, and 4 acres of painted masonry concrete walls. In September 2008, Pasaquan was accepted for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Adleyn describes the result as
"Impressionistic, loose, vibrant, and creative--a look that catches light in the deep edges of the strokes." |
