Tory Wright: Crimson & Clover
Opening Reception, Friday July 22 - 6-10 PM
July 22 - August 20, 2011

Good Citizen will feature the work of Tory Wright in an exhibition titled Crimson & Clover. Exploring the intersection of commerce and fashion and using collage as a drawing tool, Wright transforms familiar faces from high fashion magazines and department store advertising using a photocopier and exacto blades.

Beauty and alienation exist within her new constructs, resulting in a more complex seduction than that of the original imagery. Wright's use of the photocopier negates the pristine production value, prevalent in fashion photography ultimately speaking to both the aspiration and denigration inherent in capitalist culture. Good Citizen will also be featuring Wright's work for the billboard project from July - August.
