James "Buddy" Snipes One of twelve children, Buddy Snipes was born in 1945 in Macon County, Alabama, and still lives nearby. As a child, he made toys for himself and the other children out of whatever he could find. He also made wagons and wheelbarrows out of tree limbs and scrap lumber. He sold them to neighbors. Later, Snipes worked as a pulpworker, a logger, a farmhand, a dishwasher, and he fixed things for people - broken furniture, sagging doors, and fences. About 15 years ago, he started to make assemblages from roots, tree limbs, vines, scrap lumber and anything else he could find around that triggered his imagination. He also draws pictures on scrap lumber and tin and frames them with some of his found objects. |
