These collages have two things I appreciate in art:
1.) a sense of humor with a spoonful of truth
2.) a smidge of pink
The two Friday night art shows I attended last week were curated by Rhodes College students Maggie Exner, Noelle Smith and Esther Ruiz and Whitney Ranson, respectively. The collages are from a collaborative installation by Brannan Denney, Adam Farmer, and Mary Carmack called Role Play.
I personally liked the title of the second show, I Miss Ashley, because Ashley is my middle name, which was actually my grandfather's middle name, back when men were named Ashley.
The statement said the photographs are a documentation of the artist Ben Bauermeister's daily life. I saw them as a documentation of friendship.
The mindset between friends of "why call when you can just stop by?" and then hanging out for a few hours together changes as you get older. It just does.
I miss Ashley too.
