I
exhibited 7 photographs of small businesses and 5 sweaters
at Gavlak in sunny Florida.
|
|
The
photographs are part of an ongoing photographic series celebrating
small businesses. The prints are 30"x 40" each.

Native
Angeleno Matty Byloos showed paintings in the rear section
of the gallery. His paintings combined architectural details
with formalist and somewhat decorative stripes and brushstrokes.
Despite obvious differences, our work looked quite lovely
together. It also helped that the rear portion of the gallery,
Matty's paintings, the invitation card, and my pants all
matched in color. The first thing I learned when I landed
in West Palm Beach is that pink is regarded as a neutral.

My
site-specific sweaters all stated "Everything I Touch
Turns to $old" on the front. They were visible through
the front window. At first glance, a passerby might think
Gavlak to be a sweater store.
|
 |
The
backs of the sweaters had text which correlated to the amount
of gold knit into the sweater. The more gold, the more the
sweater says it costs.
|
|
Some
details that drove me crazy with happiness: the shadows
thrown on the clean white floor when the afternoon sun poured
into the front window.
|
|
| And
the ABC Liquor sign through the front window, looking just
so lovely with the signs on the banner business in the photograph.
