Reese Gallery: Friday July 8th, 2016


s p r e a d
artists'  opening reception:  
7.8.16 from 6pm to 9pm


with artists Michael Drummond + Kat Reynolds and writings by Elizabeth Tucker

"spread" is a portrayal of the inner life of adolescence, in all its awkward beauty. Elizabeth Tuckers? journal-like entries of her young life inspired Michael Drummond and Kat Reynolds to utilize a surreal depiction of sexual frustration. Like moments plucked from dreams, these hypnotic photographs lend epic qualities to this transitional time of self-discovery. As these artists revisit the shy fears and burgeoning appetites of the teenage years, a hormonal air begins to permeate this work of sexual awakening. In remembering the unease of youth, they seek out the seeds of desire that develop into the passions of adulthood.

Exhibition Run: 7.8.16 to 6.13.16
Hours:1-4pm Wed & Sat or call for an appointment.

Family Heirlooms | August 18 - September 2
Exhibition Opening Night: Friday, August 19, 6p-10p

Join us for Erica Popp's MFA Exhibit titled, Family Heirlooms. This exhibit lovingly, captures the gentler side of life and history surrounding American family values. Erica has infused ceramics and photography into a storytelling capsule. Pointing focus onto her own ancestors and the life of an immigrant family. 

"The work is an exploration of my family tree and stories of my ancestors. I've been preserving family photographs by scanning and digital restoration. I'm using these to create both hand-printed reproductions of the photographs for precious hand-bound albums, and for the ceramic plates, my attempt to create the family heirloom pieces that my family never had to pass down. My great-grandparents came here from Germany and Norway to own land and make a better life for themselves and their children in America. They didn't come with much, and as immigrant farmers, they never accumulated the type of wealth that enabled some American families to purchase precious objects to pass down to future generations, such as jewelry or fine china. These objects are something I can pass down to any future children or to my nephew. They tell the story of one branch of our family coming to America and fulfilling the American dream."

"The other portion of the show is my rural landscapes. For this MFA thesis show they are hand-printed photographs in cyanotype and van dyke brown. Historic processes honor the history of American immigrant farmers like my family. I feel a deep nostalgia for farm life despite growing up in the suburbs. I think part of our family history stays with us no matter how different our contemporary lives are."
