We Share a Thing

Opening reception August 9 from 2-5pm

The show will run from August 1-31.

The work is about people who have had a significant impact on my life. Whether through many moments over time, or a snapshot moment that left a mark, this work is in homage to their influence on me. Trophies, symbolic of accomplishments and a job well done, are repurposed here to take on significant meaning. We used to receive trophies for everything when we were young. Winning a little league title or dance competition, getting first place in the spelling bee or soccer tournament. The trophies featured in this work, long since stored in boxes and forgotten, are given value once again.

The Wall Between Us

The Wall Between Us is a collaborative art show between Erik Burke and I at Under the Rose Brewing Company. As the title suggests, the show attempts to dissolve notions of ownership and territory by replacing it with camaraderie and co-authorship. Artworks passed back and forth for one month between the two of us were created by one and then significantly altered by the other with paint and power tools.

The remnants have the appearance of urban facades that are both painted sculptures and sculpted paintings. We hope the dialogue they create reflects our open studio practice where we literally and figuratively seek to diminish the wall between our studios with a shared vision. We are proud to work in a collaborative studio space called Cuddleworks on Fourth Street. This new body of work conveniently, yet purposefully will be on display for one month at Under The Rose Brewing Company, our neighbors, just on the other side of the wall.
