Paula Walrus: Age? Location?
Adam Whitehouse: 23.Charleston, SC
PW: Inform us a little about your work.
AW: Well the medium is obvioulsly photographic imaging. Im a very visual person, and get sucked into the details of whatever my surroundings are. I just try to show people how I view the world, through my photos.
PW: Do you have any influences?
AW:One of my biggest influences I’ve had so far is Mikayla Mackaness, a teacher of mine from school, an amazing human being. She taught me the importance of creating and finding meaning in your work. Good ol’ Mother Nature is defintely one. Life in general…some crazy shit happens in this world. Every situation and moment bring out emotions that change your view on this whole experience.
PW:Describe your process?
AW:I just try to have my camera on me as much as possibe..you never know what you might see. Then they all just get put on my computer, and if they make it through post production and I still like it, then ill use it.
PW: Whats a typical weekend like in Charleston?
AW:Since the recent breaking of the arm and being out of work, its like every day is the weekend. Hangin out with friends..hittin up the beach, just exploring as much as possible without the limitation of money getting in my way. More exploring equals more photographs.
PW: If you had to give up one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?
That’s a tough question.. I’d give up money. Im all about livin’ off the land.
PW: Best and worst thing about living in Charleston?
AW: The best thing is that my family and friends are so close. The worst thing is that I want to be going to soo many other places right now. There’s a lot of shit to see in this world, Im ready to start seeing as much of it as possible.
PW: How would you describe the art scene in charleston? Is it progressing in a cool direction?
AW:Yeah it is actually. There are a few non profit organizations, like the Redux Contemporary Art Center and Take it to the Streets Ministry. Redux is a gallery, studio and education center, offering classes to the pubic in pretty much any medium.. and always showcasing some pretty unique and talented artists. Take it to the Streets has held art auctions and concerts, which bring in a lot of work from local artists. And all proceeds go to help those suffering in poverty, so thats cool.
PW: Music? What are you currently listening to?
AW:I’ve been listening to a lot of indie/progressive rock stuff lately…Mars Volta, Circa Survive, TV on the Radio, Interpol. Some good hiphop is always good, like J5 and Aesop Rock.
PW:What yould you like to see from Paula Walrus?
AW:I think Paula Walrus is awesome. I think showcasing different artists is definitely beneficial.. inspiration comes from all over. I see the Walrus becoming a conventional networking soure
