He has spent the last few years working on commissions that involved this concept\, giving him less control over palette or pattern. \nWith approximately 20 new pieces on view in SWEET\, Ellzey continues his exploration of the rolled paper module\, the process in creating the module\, and the resulting compositions and textures when the module is replicated and combined. In the process of these works\, Ellzey’s architectural training is evident. He was always drawn to model-making and the notion of creating things by hand. Modules provide scale and the hand is visible in the final product\, as each roll of paper is meticulously reworked by the artist. “This process of rolling is a meditative process. I find great inspiration in mundane\, methodical tasks. My mind is free to concentrate on exactly how and why I’m driven to create a particular piece.” The rolled pages that make up his work are filled with energy\, like springs waiting to snap back. \n“You say to a brick\, “What do you want\, brick?” And brick says to you\, “I like an arch.” -Louis Kahn \nThroughout SWEET\, Ellzey returns to the origins of his process by focusing on elements of color\, form\, and composition. In paring down the recent works to their basics\, Ellzey also simplified his inspirations and returned to his past. He began to revisit children’s books that formed his earliest visual memories and researched artists and designers that were working in the early sixties. Through this process he discovered the work of Mary Blair.  An unsung hero of the Disney animation studios and creative force in advertising and design\, Blair was responsible for the “It’s A Small World” attraction for the New York World’s Fair and then Disneyland. The juxtapositions of color with folk art patterning and imagery in her work hugely influenced his perception of the world as a child. Blair’s work as well as the styles of Alexander Girard and Charles and Ray Eames have guided the color and energy of Ellzey’s new body of work. \nDuring this tumultuous political season\, the process of creating these pieces\, as well as the imagery and materials involved\, has been a bulwark against a daily barrage of cynicism and acrimony. SWEET is unabashedly happy and optimistic\, and Ellzey hopes his audience will be similarly inspired. \n\n \n\n\n \n\nArtist Biography \nBrantley Ellzey is an architect and artist who has operated an independent studio in the Crosstown neighborhood of Memphis since 2010.  With degrees in Architecture and Theater Design from Tulane University\, Ellzey creates art that illustrates the precision and structural form of architecture while embodying the colorful thrill and drama of the theater.  His works consist primarily of paper from magazines\, books and other printed media which he deconstructs\, rolls and methodically builds into complex\, layered forms.  Drawing from the themes of the selected materials\, he expresses the anatomy of a journal\, making the subject and content visually apparent in the piece with lines\, color and overall construction.  His work is in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States\, such as Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital\, West Cancer Center\, Bass Berry + Sims\, Wunderlich Securities\, and Iberia Bank. Examples of his architectural work are First Congregational Church\, The Museum of Modern Spinal Surgery at Medtronic\,The Kemmons Wilson Exhibit at the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management at University of Memphis\, the renovation of Immaculate Conception Cathedral\, and Ballet Memphis (Cordova).

Robert Quinlan is a seventy-year-old historian\, teaching at Florida State University\, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage\, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam-War protests\, now bears the fractures of time\, both personal and historical\, with the couple trapped in an existence of morning coffee and solitary jogging and separate offices. For Robert and Darla\, the cracks remain under the surface\, whereas the divisions in Robert’s own family are more apparent: he has almost no relationship with his brother Jimmy\, who became estranged from the family as the Vietnam War intensified. Robert and Jimmy’s father\, a veteran of WWII\, is coming to the end of his life\, and aftershocks of war ripple across their lives once again\, when Jimmy refuses to appear at his father’s bedside. And an unstable homeless man whom Robert at first takes to be a fellow Vietnam veteran turns out to have a deep impact not just on Robert\, but on his entire family. \nAbout the Author \nRobert Olen Butler is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of sixteen novels\, including Hell\, A Small Hotel\, and the Christopher Marlowe Cobb series. He is also the author of six short story collections and a book on the creative process\, From Where You Dream. He has twice won a National Magazine Award in Fiction and received the 2013 F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Outstanding Achievement in American Literature. He teaches creative writing at Florida State University.

Examples of his architectural work are First Congregational Church\, The Museum of Modern Spinal Surgery at Medtronic\,The Kemmons Wilson Exhibit at the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management at University of Memphis\, the renovation of Immaculate Conception Cathedral\, and Ballet Memphis (Cordova).
