16 Patton Gallery, 16 Patton Ave., Asheville, NC
Saturday, October 2 - Saturday, November 2, 2010
Reception: Saturday, October 2, 6 - 8 pm
Solo exhibition: "Anthropomorphic Produce."“Anthropomorphic Produce is a new series of paintings using vegetables and fruit acting out human situations and behavior. Human migratory patterns, so utterly important in human history for survival, have geographic and political boundaries today that create very complicated situations. Racial differences create us vs. them scenarios. Human rights are violated. Is that what's going on in these paintings, or are they just hyper-realist renderings of light saturating the color and texture of both common and exotic produce?”

First Saturday Art Crawl Reception: November 6, 6-9 pm Donuts Behaving Badly: An Anthropomorphic Food Exhibit
In my “Donuts Behaving Badly” series, all forms of scandalous behavior are imagined. If it is hard to guess what is happening, the painting titles, such as “Binge and Purge”, and “The Immaculate Confection” give it away. Donuts are wonderfully fleshy and human, and can lay about with far more lethargy than even a dog on a hot day. The first series used the powdered and overfilled donuts I’ve purchased from Dunkin Donuts as subjects. The second series contain the more tan and muscular Krispy Kreme donuts acting out “The Seven Deadly Sins”.
