Farrington Smith Gallery

December is a month of photography in New Orleans. Lots of places will be participating, including the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Contemporary Arts Center and us! A schedule can be seen here.

We are lucky to be showing work by Louviere + Vanessa, Jennifer Shaw and Jean Laughton. All have beautiful websites, so instead of posting a lot now about each, I encourage you to visit their spaces. Later, I’ll try to make individual posts for all three.

The opening reception will be here on Friday, December 8 from 6 p.m.- 9 p.m.

Our event mistakenly got listed in the Gambit as happening this Friday, so we will be here during those hours just in case, but the official opening isn’t until next week, so that is the best day to come by! Hope to see you then!

The origin of these enigmatic and functional objects exists somewhere between Sculpture and Design in a realm I like to refer to as post-industrial primitive.

As Sculpture, my Art conveys the intensity of personal expression by synthesizing the history of Found Objects, the familiarity of Common Materials, and the directness of Assemblage…yet by acknowledging the intuitive and formal qualities of Furniture, my work gains meaning within the context of an individual’s physical interaction with it Day In and Day Out.
