Genesco

Local leather artist created this leather triptych from up-cycled leather samples provided by Johnston & Murphy. Custom walnut frames with built-in LEDs.

A study of traditional craft, this piece blends the spirit of American patchwork with the art of Japanese sashiko stitching, bringing two time-honored traditions together in a single work.

This louvered, escalator tread installation was inspired by the iconic escalators that were the central pillars of Genesco’s former corporate headquarters for more than 50 years.

These vintage shoemaking tools were used for decades in the company’s original factory, where skilled artisans crafted genuine Goodyear welt men’s dress shoes by hand. Each tool reflects years of dedicated work and a lasting commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Each pin in this installation was hammered by hand, one at a time. Together they mark the milestones that shaped Journeys and the values that continue to guide the company.

First introduced in the late 1800s, this script icon sign was installed at the company’s original shoe factory in August 1962.

Alongside it are shoe lasts once used in that same factory to shape and construct classic Goodyear welt men’s dress shoes, a time-honored method known for its durability and craftsmanship.

Together, these pieces honor a long tradition of quality and attention to detail, connecting the company’s past to the work that continues today. Crafted and installed by local artisans.

These cabinets were used in the Johnston & Murphy shoe factory at Genesco Park for more than 50 years. Drawers housed essential replacement parts and tools for the variety of machines used in the 144-step process of crafting fine men’s footwear.

Each of the seven floors elevator lobbies display a mural "band" to reflect the floors inhabitants.

After high school, the artist moved to the West Coast, where the art form first gained popularity, and quickly built a career airbrushing surfboards and designer clothing. That work led to an independent fashion brand sold in regional boutiques and overseas. Between acting and modeling, the artist returned home to earn a degree in commercial art and graphic design, beginning a career that bridged the gallery and graffiti worlds. One day might mean tagging a well-known boardwalk, and the next, exhibiting at a major international art fair.
