Rust Belt to Market Street

The story

1. 2015

   Cleveland

   In 2015 Terry’s camera was pointed at Cleveland: Public Square, the Key Bank tower, a painting a favorite aunt made in ’83.

   

2. 2017

   San Francisco

   By 2017 it was on San Francisco, and the captions had changed. “This city speaks to me.” “Cali was meant to be.” Terry walked dogs and kept an eye on the walls.

   

3. 2018

   Fly

   The work went out the way street work does, under the name Fly: a bird drawn on a postal label, prints at $35, chalk on the pavement in the Haight while waiting for the bus.

   

4. 2018

   The Tenderloin

   Then onto the walls of places Terry already knew. “Great people, good food, and my affordable art work,” at Angel Cafe and Deli, and at a coffee shop at Mission and 24th.

   

5. 2019–20

   Drawing over

   In 2019 Terry drew over photographs of Terry’s own face and posted them as “Self portrait” and “Selfish portrait”. In 2020: mixed media on an antique Victorian window, and drawings that move.

   

6. 2023–24

   Market Street

   In 2023 Terry sold art at Pride on Market Street with CounterPulse, right outside Blick. A year later Terry’s art covered the news kiosk at Sixth.

   

7. 2026

   Montreal

   In 2026 it went to Montreal, to L’Original. “Some west coast culture,” Terry wrote.
