Adam J. Carriuolo - Fine Art Silkscreen Print
"As a piece of architectural history in Providence, the Turks Head building occupies a unique place. It has always inspired those who take the trouble to really look at and examine its environmental stature and emotional posture. However, it is in the light of the WaterFire Ballroom, with its archways festooned with radiant and billowing curtains, and the streets surrounding it peopled with revelers glowing with the joy of the event that the building achieves its full potential and emotional impact. It is this expression of history, architecture, art, and joyous society that I have attempted to capture with this print." - Adam J. Carriuolo
