Good Citizen Gallery: Friday, 22 July 2011
Good Citizen invites you to Crimson and Clover, a solo exhibition by Tory Wright.
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.
Tory Wright draws upon her experience working as a visual merchandiser for a large department store. This position has allowed her to observe directly how the methods of advertising are intended to seduce the American consumer. (Transformation through transaction.) Examples of Tory Wight's work can be seen at torywright.com
Gallery Hours Fri., Sat. Noon - 5 PM and by appointment
Opening Reception, Friday July 22 - 6-10 PM
