Ervin A. Johnson’s #InHonor Project

- Gwynned Vitello

Before completing his second bachelor’s degree in photography and an MFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Ervin A. Johnson graduated from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign with a degree in Rhetoric—which we can broadly define as the use of speech and its ability to create knowledge and use it persuasively. Imagine applying such aural and visual skills to make art, to look out at the world, look within and follow that with a universal language. SCAD Art Sales, a consultancy program offered to students, submitted Johnson’s series, Monolith, to Photo London Digital, the first online international photography fair.
