Farrington Smith Gallery

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.

I suppose he’s our mascot.

Here he is in front of the desk that Adam and Scott made. So, Bywater Art Market was fun…we’ll do it again before the holidays, but not sure when. I’ll definately post sooner about it the next time we participate.

We may host the next New Orleans Geek Dinner, wherein bloggers and other computer-types mingle and pot-luck-it…I need to contact Alan G. to see what’s up with that. I’ve been a little shy, honestly, about mixing with other local bloggers because ours is about art and theirs tend to be more current-events oriented, but I’m gonna go ahead and jump in.

Adam has some pieces including Steamboat Sally and On The Delta in a group show opening in Brooklyn soon. It’s called Surge: New Orleans On High Ground, and is at the Brooklyn Lyceum in cooperation with New Orleans’ 3 Ring Circus Productions. Hope people up there enjoy getting a little NOLA flava.

Lastly, Adam is curating a group show to open in conjunction with Art for Art’s Sake on October 7. Our festivities will be during the day, when Adam also participates in the Marigny and Bywater Open Studio event. It just so happens that our mammas will be visiting together then, as well, so it’ll be a very busy and fun weekend for us! More information about the first Farrington Smith Gallery group show to come!
