Artist: Beate Sass

Location: North Florida/Southwest Georgia

Project: Tall Timbers

Description: This project aims to document the tenant homes that still stand on the grounds of the Tall Timbers Plantation. Rising from the artist’s interest in photography and oral history, Tall Timbers is a visual and verbal project. Sass’s goal is both to document the dwellings where tenant farmers once lived, and to hear the stories of the families who contributed extensively to the history of Southern agriculture.

Eyes on the South is curated by Jeff Rich. The weekly series features selections of current work from Southern artists, or artists whose photography concerns the South.
