Photographs! Music! Paintings! Quilts! OK, no quilts, and the âcareerâ was not spent in art per se. It was, however, spent on the 4th floor as one of the Central Libraryâs music specialists, so it has taken place within walking distance of art. Furthermore, some of the techniques (like âgumoil printingâ) Anderson learned from books checked out from the library, and many of the photos were taken within walking distance of 1515 Young Street.
