Discarded photos, old wood, trashed toys and abandoned
houses are easy to find in Buffalo and throughout the Rust Belt. But what some people
see as urban decay, I (and many other artists) see as raw materials telling us
stories about our post-industrial environment. All that is needed is the desire
to seek out these fascinating layers of time. Deterioration doesn’t always
have to lead downward. It can also lead to regeneration, reconstruction, and recycling.
My studio is now displaying paintings, collage, and assemblages
all based on this amazing rusty world. You can find it in the TriMain Center,
Studio 509, 2495 Main Street, Buffalo, NY. The doors will be open for “Fourth Friday” events (tonight)
and many afternoons too. You’re invited!
