Yards Project: Trademarks II at Worthington Yards

I’m pleased to be part of a group exhibition at Worthington Yards opening Thursday, March 5, 2020. I will have work from my new series of photograms and drawings represented alongside work of a dozen other area artists.
Trade Marks examines the challenges regional artists face who hug the commercial field and art world in their practices. These artists understand that the dual life of trade-off better than anyone. They produce their work at a rapid pace to keep up with the commercial market, seek profit and recognition, and generally produce art that can please themselves and their clients. The exhibition considers the impact commercial art has on the NEO avant-garde and offers a fresh view on the artists tenuous relationship to a 21st century torn and liberated marketplace. “
