Concession Stand
This is my second solo show with Flanders Art Gallery. It opens June first Friday and runs through late July.

This body of work has been nearly a year in the making, including 2 large scale pieces and 25 modest scale pieces. Thematically, the show examines our relationships to marketing and advertising including how it affects our identity, sense of self, ethics, and the pervasiveness of paradigm in which we are both targets and participants.
