Impressions, David Shelton Gallery
Impressions is comprised of video, sculpture, and painting. Concussion Repercussion consists of a mud mask, constructed to resemble those made by Asaro Mudmen, beside a lounge chair that stylistically recalls an era when many Americans learned about travel and exotic worlds through National Geographic and Playboy. In other projects, the carcinogenic but alluring nature of household materials like hair dye slip in. Painted onto posters of exotic, barren landscapes, hair dye stains the paper in a pattern that mimics a chain-link fence or a trellis.
